mef1975 Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 I guess my other thread got hijacked. I had no idea that could happen. http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?pid=306577#p306577Here, I've pasted the part from the thread that I think I'm dealing with now... (On the general tab what is the availability?? multuiply that by 100 to get %, and if your % downloaded = availability you can't download more without connecting to seeds.) So yeah, I have 97.4% downloaded and .974 availability with 0 (2) SEEDS 4 (25) PEERSThere WAS a little uploading going on.Shouldn't the seeds be 2 (2)? Why isn't it?

jewelisheaven Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 You can't force peers to connect to you. If you've got forwarding setup correctly, peers will connect to you :/ But until that happens you will only be uploading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mef1975 Posted February 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 How do I set up the forwarding correctly? I did the port test in the speed guide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 If you don't know where to set it up, if you know your make and model of the router you can use Portforward.com ... or if you need to know all the places to check for forwarded ports you can use my post.This of course assumes you're not already forwarded (green network status icon and / or "I" flag under the Peers tab) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mef1975 Posted February 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 Yeah, I have that green check thingamagig. I know about the Peers tab, but I'm not sure what the I flag is. I do have 5 peer flags under the Peers tab. I'll have to look into the website later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 http://utorrent.com/faq.php#What_do_all_those_flags_in_the_Flags_column_mean.3F Yep if you got that then you just have to wait for peers with more % than you, OR a seed to connect to you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mef1975 Posted February 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 I have a feeling that will never happen.Oh I see the flags column now... Yeah, there are some I's in there, along with H's and X's and E's. They all have the same % I have written next to them. Does that mean we're all waiting for the original source, or something? Where's the dude with 100%? Is there such a thing or am I not getting it? That was a cool link you gave me up there. I'll have to read that.

torrero Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 yes, if everybody is stuck at 97.4 percent you have to wait until a seed returns (or at least a peer whos got the missing 2.6 percent).How old is the torrent (created on) ?

mef1975 Posted February 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Just a couple days, Feb 14. OH WOW! I see the 100% dude with the missing 2.6% (relevance)! His flag is DIX. The seeds are 1 (1) It says downloading, but it's not downloading. There is another download I'm doing that's working. What could be wrong?

Switeck Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 The seed may be very slow and only uploading to other peers on that torrent at this time.(it may have upload slots set to 1 and upload speed set to 1 KiloBYTE/sec.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
