beeman Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 I am busy downloading an older Torrent which is showing a different progress bar and I'm wondering if I am wasting my time.The progress bar shows the amount downloaded currently at 40.4%, below that is a bar showing the availability which is at 0.946%. It is also showing small vertical red bars which I have never seen before.Does this indicate missing files? If so, it would indicate an in-complete file on completion? Is that correct, if so, is there an answer as it's a file I really need!Thanks for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 An availability below 1 means that your client can't see a complete set of pieces.If the availability does not go above 1, you won't be able to complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 If Availability is less than one, you can't finish unless a seeder or something hops on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beeman Posted March 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 So is it worth hanging on in the hope someone will seed it? Any other suggestions?I really do need this file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 If you need it you can set it as right click -> Force start so it stays active outside your queue... this will keep it active indefinitely until you stop it. But you will have to wait, and may need to look around where you downloaded it or elsewhere with similar content and make a "reseed request"... noting that there are peers already @ 95% may give them more incentive because HAVING to upload 100% of a file is a drag, but with 5% not so much.
