Ultima Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 http://www.utorrent.com/faq.php#What_do_the_red_icons_mean_on_the_torrent_status_icons.3FWhat is the tracker status in the General tab in the Detailed Info Pane? If you're not sure what I'm referring to, press F5 in µTorrent a few times, and you'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lvdj1983 Posted April 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 it says they are downloading , but they have not moved for a couple of days now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 Additionally if your Availability * 100 = your download % then there is no more available in the peers you're connected to and you will need to wait for a peer with more/different data. If this is the case for a few days then you should try looking for a different source of the content, or let it go indefinitely (Setting to forced-start mode allows it to not take up a queue slot)... unless you're the one uploading to everyone else in which case you may want to limit the upload some so it doesn't take a sizeable chunk of your upload.

GTHK Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Try an OpenOffice torrent as a test. http://distribution.openoffice.org/p2p/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
