Slow past 90%

[Zepp07]

I am downloading a file..and once it reached 90% instead of going at 150.00 kB/s it started going at 0.02 kB/s. Is this so i allow people to upload from me before I finish it? I looked in all the FAQ's section and couldn't find anything about this.

Thank you in advance for the help.

My connection is fine by the way..I have the green circle with the check mark.

Check "Queuing" in your Preferences and set the following:

Seed While:

Ratio is: <= 10000% or seeding time is "ignored"

and make sure that the upload rate is unchecked. Other than that, I can't help you.

Err... to the best of my knowledge, what JoAT suggested has to do with seeding and doesn't really have any relevance to this since it's a downloading problem. I've been having a similar issue, the root cause of which seems to be failure to connect to seeds. This only becomes a problem once most of the download is done since peers may have most but not all of the pieces of it. Check if this is your problem, Zepp.

Click on the General tab. What is the availability?

[Zepp07]

The availability is 0.901

[nos_slived]

That means you aren't going to get above 90% unless a seed joins the swarm because there is only 90% available in the swarm. Possibly a poisoned torrent.

Thank you so much for clearing that up..appreciate it.
