bigfatteleman Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 Hi guys, please excuse my ignorance but new to utorrent/mybittorrent.I've started downloading [sNIP] found on mybittorrent (I think it's from Demonoid) but my download icon is showing red although it is still downloading. Am I wasting my time?Any help would be appreciated, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 The download icon is red because Demonoid is a dead tracker. You're going to have to find whatever you're looking for from some other site. Alternatively, you might want to try enabling DHT if you haven't already done so to see if there are any other DHT nodes lurking with the torrent still running.

ajones81 Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 Well, you do know that Demonoid is long dead, right? So the tracker no longer exists and hence the red arrow. You may still be able to complete the download with the help of DHT, but I wouldn't guarantee it. What's the availability like? If it's above 1.0, then you can at least make a run for it and keep your fingers crossed, else get rid of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfatteleman Posted January 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 I wasn't aware that demonoid was dead and gone as not been downloading for long and mainly stuck to one tracker.DHT is showing 270+ nodes (?) and availability is showing as 12.... so I'll stick it out and see what happens. It's currently on 46.8% but only up to about 10-15kBs.Thanks for your advice and taking the time to reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
