Baklavametal Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 i have a problem with downloading torrents. when a torrent starts downloading it connects only to peers, it wont connect to any of seeders, even if there's >1000 of them. and that works fine, untill about 98% done then download torrent speed lowers to 0.2-0.8 kb/s!! but the upload speed stays fine :\ i forwarded the port, and it's okay, i shut off firewalls, i tried everything described in faq, i updated that sys file (i use xp sp2) but nothing helps.please? im desperatethank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBO Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 could be a fake torrent, have you tried any other torrents? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baklavametal Posted January 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 doubt it, this isn't the first time :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwm9 Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 It probably IS a fake torrent with a server intentionally denying the last block.Check to see what % complete the other clients are at by clicking on the peers tab with the torrent in question selected.If you see large numbers of clients all stalled at 98%, it's likely the torrent is fake and all the other downloaders are in the same boat. Don't count the 100% peers -- they might be lying to you. Instead check to see if the number of people with just part of the file (say 20%/30%/50%, etc.) is comparable to the number of people sitting at 98%. If the number at 98% is disproportionate, it's likely fake, and all the 100% clients are lying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Just checking the availability should generally be enough (less than 1.0 with many seeds/peers normally means it's a fake torrent). And just because this isn't the first time doesn't mean it's not a fake torrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switeck Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Because the reported seeds are not real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qualal Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Baklavametal I have the same problem and it has occurred more than once on several different bit torrents. I too doubt that it is a fake torrent problem. My availability figures are good for each torrent file and I have forwarded the required port through my firewall. My downloads go fine and then get to a certain point and then it appears that I can only upload even though the file is incomplete. There may be thousands of seeeders but utorrent will not connect to a single one. Instead, it connects only to peers. If anyone else has this problem or has come up with a possible solution please let me know....:-)qualal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 What are the other peers' completion percentages? Are you getting lots of hashfails? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
