Phonebook2 Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 The following files have been above 99% for weeks and will not finish. I have already forced a recheck on each. All are constantly being uploaded to other users. Any ideas?PBS.Nova.Holocaust.on.Trial.VHS.Xvid.mp3.MVGroup.Forum.aviHolocaust on TrialReputations - Simon Wiesenthal - The Man Who Hunted Nazis.aviThanks,Phonebook2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlefire Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 We don't care what you download, nor can we check for you.You cannot download > Availability * 100. If the Availability is not > 1.0 you cannot finish the file. IF it reaches 1.0 and you are still not finished, do you see Wasted/Hashfail data on the General tab?

Phonebook2 Posted November 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 Dear thelittlefire,Are you innately obnoxious and rude, or do you practice these repulsive traits in order to perfect them? Is Howard Stern your role model?In fact, the semi-cryptic answer that you gave is both trite and absolutely useless. Moreover, it is patently obvious.The correct answer to my question is that the unfinished downloads have no seeders.Now, if you actually want to be constructive or even helpful, you might suggest how to change that problem.Meanwhile, try being a little less crude and a lot less condescending.

DreadWingKnight Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 The fact of the matter is this:You specifically mentioned a torrent of questionable legality in your post. This is against the rules posted in the announcement. That's the reason for the attitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phonebook2 Posted November 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 Thie facts of the matter are: 1) PBS broadcasts are public domain; 2) His answer was wrong; 3) He is not the police; 4) He should not cop a moral attitude in a technical forum.Now can anybody figure out how to get seeders into the mix so I can finish?

DreadWingKnight Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 Pester the site you got the torrent from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phonebook2 Posted November 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 Finally an interesting suggestion!The files are listed on several torrent search sites.So, please let me know how to identify and contact those who might have a complete copy to seed. That would be very constructive and helpful.Thanks so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 You would need to post at the sites you got the torrents from. Not here.And because of the nature of the issue, we don't handle reseed requests on these forums AT ALL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phonebook2 Posted November 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 How do I identify the sites in question? I have no idea. It was months ago. Is it the the "tracker" site? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlefire Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 Sometimes. Sometimes not. Try going to sites you frequent and search for the INFOHASH. The INFOHASH is the only "authentic" way to verify a torrent, not by title, or name. Content doesn't need to be evaluated since that is part and parcel to the INFOHASH.
