goodo1234 Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 I have 5 torrents downloading, totalling around 700mb. However over the past days it have downloaded probably 1Gb and they're still not finished. This morning i did a test. I calculated based on the % done how much of each had already been downloaded. I left utorrent on for a while. I came back and more than 100mb had been downloaded since i left it. But % wise of each torrent, i calculated that I had actually downloaded 5mb! Does anyone know why this might be happening?thanksG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goodo1234 Posted October 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 It does apply to me in that it seems the torrent is taking forever to finish, and i've got a lot of hashfails, but i don't have a dlink router nor a router with game mode. I've been using utorrent for agent and this is the first time i've noticed anything like this happen. I never knew what hash fails were. And i've never seen a torrent take this long to finish, but % are increasing, just taking along time to actually recieve good data.These are my stats:file 1: 109mb, actually downloaded 288mb yet only 77% completedfile 2: 394mb, actually downloaded 448mb, yet only 53.3% completedfile 3: 38.1mb, actually downloaded 95.4mb, 81.8%file 4: 63.5mb, actually downloaded 120mb, 99%file 5: 91.8mb, actually downloaded 146mb, 68.7%I have downloaded 451mb worth of good stuff, yet i've really d/l almost 1.1 gig.

Ultima Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 http://www.ubuntu.com/downloadPick a torrent from here, do you still get lots of hashfails? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodo1234 Posted October 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 no hashfails there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverfire Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 Then it means those torrents you're getting hashfails from are getting poisoned. There was something you do with the IP filter, but since I've never had a reason to use IP filtering, I don't know about it offhand. If you search for 'poison torrent' it should come up with a few hits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 Dedicated poisoners on BitTorrent trackers almost always fall in a tight ip range bracket.The most common ones seem to be in 38.x.x.x and 210.x.x.x.ipfilter.dat can block ips and ip ranges, but you have to be careful not to block too little (or you will still receive lots of hash fails) or too much (real people won't be able to connect to you).
