godverdamme Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 I am d/ling a 160MB file that has been taking a few day when it shouldn't. When it reaches ~90% it starts going backward to ~89% then up again, then down again. It says 545MB wasted and 1862 hashfalls, so obvious the tracker has a problem. Has anyone else experienced this strange behaviour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 It says 545MB wasted and 1862 hashfalls, so obvious the tracker has a problem.Considering the tracker doesn't actually send you any pieces, it's obvious it's NOT a tracker problem, but rather a poisoned torrent problem with bad peers.

DreadWingKnight Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 A torrent with many anti-p2p group peers spreading junk data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switeck Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Had you blocked the poisoners using µTorrent's ipfilter.dat, you might have finished the torrent.A poisoned torrent is almost the opposite of a fake torrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invy Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 How do they poison torrents? Don't their hashes have to match up with yours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
