DreadWingKnight Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 That doesn't answer my availability question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 If your availability does not >= 1.000 you will not finish. Period. Try posting where you got the torrent from for a "reseed request"... be sure to point out that the current seeds are not connectable. Keep in mind they may also be fake/spoofed seeds if it's a public tracker. (This presumes you are connectable, i.e. the green network status icon) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barterking Posted January 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Sorry Dreadwingknight, I couldn't see availability as I was looking in the wrong place and it wasn't clearly on the title bar as it was closed up. Anyway. the availability is 0.987 so that is the problem buy the sounds of it. I shall search for another torrent of the same.Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllGamer Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 searching for another torrent of the same will not helpsince you'll end up with the same torrent anyways, even if it's from another tracker,you either WAIT it out, until a SEED comes by and play for God for him to stay long enough and completes it.or find a SIMILAR torrent of what you want, from another Source / Release.

jewelisheaven Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Yeah That's unfortunate but you need to wait for a seed to come around or another peer which has the pieces you don't. Yeah search around.. and commenting on other torrents with the same content may help you as someone who has "generic podcast episode 19" may have your "generic podcast ultra rare episode 0" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xocsucram Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 there doesnt necessarily have to be a 1.000 availbility to get those last pieces you need but if you get alot of failed hash checks its a bad torrent to begin withi havent had this happen to me yet while using uTorrent, i remember Azures/Vuze did it alot, but what i use to do if it kept failing a hash in the 98-99% completion range is remove the torrent(not the file) close the client an then reopen the torrent an have it check the file for completed pieces, that would normally work an then it would download the final piece or pieces an it'd finish. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 Actually, there does.Availability calculations include your own pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
