Lord Alderaan Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 What is the availability of the torrent (its one of the columns in the main torrent list of µtorrent)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Alderaan Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 If availability is below 1 it means that there are pieces of the download nobody has. You can give up and delete the torrent + data or you can let it run and hope somebody reseeds it (someone who has the whole download comes back as a seed). If there are a lot of peers with 97% completion you might as well give up now, if there is just one or two you have a chance the seed recently left and might be back in a couple of hours; a day tops.

th123 Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 Does that mean the file will not work properly? How can you verify this before downloading? (i was downloading a large file, 2 days, and now i realise it cant be completed!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Alderaan Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 If it isn't 100% it will not work properly. In the case of media files you might be able to play it if its close to 100% but it will miss parts, might freeze, have glitches. But if its a program, if its compressed (.rar/.zip) and if its a iso (.iso/.nrg/.bin/.cue/.mds etc) it will not work until 100% downloaded.

mrUicro Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 Depending on the site you are on there might be a forum where you can request a reseed of the file you and the other people are waiting for. Some people do scan those requests and put up the file. After all if 100 people need just 100kb of a 10gb file it will only be an hour or so before someone has got it and seeding it to everyone else.
