trueman Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 Ive just downloaded around 677 mbs of a 686 mb file, using utorrent. However I cant seem to download the last 9 mbs. I fixed a NAT error I was getting although it didnt stop the file downloading in the first place anyway.However if I start this file again in Azureus it starts to download no problems. Will it too get to 98.7% and then stop? How can I fix this problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverfire Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 The problem seems to be that the peers you're connected to only have 98.7% availability, so in all actuality, when you use the bloat monster, you'll still only be able to get 98.7%.

trueman Posted November 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 So how do I get the rest of the file then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoochieMamma Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 Wait till a seeder comes on.Seed = person with 100% and ONLY uploading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slayers Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 Trueman, your best bet is to go to the source (where you got the torrent) and request a reseed.There is also the remote possibility that you got a bogus torrent that will never get to 100% which was planted by some evil organization.

trueman Posted November 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 When I go back to the page I got the torent from it says this181 (number of peers with the completed file and fully distributing)Someone else asks why it only got to 98.6% and stopped downloading but then another person replies and says he got the full file.The page Im getting it from is here. [link removed for content]I can I get the last 9mbs?Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jroc Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 Yea. Click on the torrent link for the complete file and point uT to the directory that has the 98% file in it. It will recheck and only download the remaining % that u need. As long as the person upping the full file names it the exact same filename as the incomplete file, there should be no problems. (Im not too sure about my last sentence, so dont hold me to it.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trueman Posted November 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 Im n ot sure what you mean? I tried to find the torrent again but the page wouldnt open Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jroc Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 if u mean the incomplete torrent, u dont need it again. If u mean the complete torrent, maybe the seeder needed to correct something. or the site is having problems at the moment.I shoulda asked this first: the person who said they got the complete file, did they create a torrent for it yet?

trueman Posted November 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 Good question, Im not really sure. If they did wouldnt it just appear in the search I do? And if so how would I know it was the complte file, or is this soemthing I have to ask them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jroc Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 for ? #1: Yea it would appear in the search. for ? #2: You would know cuz when it finishes getting rechecked, it should be at 98.7% done. Just check with that user and keep tabs on his torrents if u dont see it listed on the torrents page.The main thing is to keep the incomplete file. U dont need the torrent for it anymore, tho.
