desi Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 Ok well any difference with 1.6.1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 It's probably a fake or thoroughly poisoned torrent.You either never connect to any seeds, or the seeds you are connected with never send you anything...other than maybe something that fails hash check.Are the other peers at nearly the same percent?What's the availability of that torrent?

Switeck Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 There are companies DEDICATED to poisoning torrents and creating fake torrents.It's big industry, so it's rather hard to avoid...short of only downloading from the BBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
