raistlin Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 Hello,I'm currently downloading a 1.79GB torrent (922 x 2.00MB pieces). I'm now at 93%, but I've only downloaded 1.67GB compared to 1.21GB of hashfails!Supposedly it has 103 seeds and 43 peers, but I only connect to approximately 10 peers and a couple of seeds at any one time. I don't keep my PC on for 24/7.Any advice?Thanks a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 I'm inclined to believe it's either a fake, or poisoned torrent. What is the availaiblity for the torrent? Are the other peers stuck at the same percentage as you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raistlin Posted September 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 Hi Ultima,It has about 50 files, I've been lucky and managed to completely download (and utilize) about half of them. The other half is stuck at 90+ % (but still can be played, however there are gaps in the files).The availability of the torrent now is 1.998, and the ratio is 0.829. I have observed one peer stuck at 91%, with other peers with various percentages.If it is indeed a posioned torrent, what can I do to salvage this torrent? Thanks.p/s Another thing of note is DHT is disabled for this torrent. All my other torrents are working fine (with DHT enabled) and I have succesfully completed many torrents.

Ultima Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 With poisoned torrents, the best you can do is ban the bad peers (which µTorrent already does) and wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
