monkeybars Posted November 1, 2008 Report Posted November 1, 2008 I have used U Torrent for a while now but have came across a problem lately that I hope someone can explain to me. I am attempting to download certain files and everything is going great until the download nears completion.I have some that are 99.8% complete and then it seems that U Torrent just stops. All of a sudden it's like the people I am getting the file from all of a sudden disappear.Anyone else care to let me in on why this happens? What are my options now if I am stuck with these "almost complete files?
DreadWingKnight Posted November 1, 2008 Report Posted November 1, 2008 What is the availability listed on the torrent?
monkeybars Posted November 1, 2008 Author Report Posted November 1, 2008 0.998 is the availability. But why would it just drop me while I am so close to a finished file? 0 seeds and 11 out of 29 peers are active.
DreadWingKnight Posted November 1, 2008 Report Posted November 1, 2008 Because the remaining pieces aren't available anymore.
monkeybars Posted November 1, 2008 Author Report Posted November 1, 2008 So do I dump the file or just wait for the final piece to become available? What would you recommend.
DreadWingKnight Posted November 1, 2008 Report Posted November 1, 2008 Pester the site you got the torrent from, wait it out, or find a different torrent.
monkeybars Posted November 1, 2008 Author Report Posted November 1, 2008 Thanks for the help on my issue. I'll hang on to it for a bit then try elsewhere. You know any really good torrent sites other than "The Pirate Bay"?
Firon Posted November 1, 2008 Report Posted November 1, 2008 We can't help you find torrent sites, but Google can.
monkeybars Posted November 1, 2008 Author Report Posted November 1, 2008 Alright then. Thanks for all the help.
