Downloads never finish

[fragonard]

So here's my PROBLEM:

-All downloads stuck near 99%

My parameters:

-I have the latest Utorrent,

-I'm behind an SMC 7004 VBR router, which is port-forwarded correctly

(I also checked with utorrent, and it says it was fine)

-I checked the routers advenced setup, and it says, in the "firewall", that the dmz mode is disabled.

-I use the latest Comodo Firewall.

Please help!

IF YOU HAVE SPEED ISSUES READ HERE FIRST

..

THINGS TO TAKE NOTE OF

* If you find your speeds to be "average" until you get to a certain percentage, check the availability of the torrent, and the number of seeds/peers there should be in the swarm. If the availability is below 1.0, [ if the number of seeds is high, the torrent is likely fake | if the number of seeds is low, then you're going to have to be patient ]. If you're getting a large number of hashfails, the torrent is likely poisoned,

What are the listed availabilities for the offending torrents?

Do OpenOffice torrents do the same thing?

i have a problem of the dowloads not finishing. it says that it's "checking" but it says at 0.0% for a very very long time. i really just get sick of it. should i cancel the DL and restart?

Fake torrents or poisoned torrents do that.

There are companies dedicated to destroying file-sharing in general...they generate many fake torrents and try to poison the real torrents. You might want to block their ips using µTorrent's ipfilter.dat -- but HERE is not a place to find a good list of ips to block.
