DreadWingKnight Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 The guide automatically fails because it recommends a halfopen patch as a required step. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadicalxEdward Posted November 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 I skipped the TCPIP.sys patch step because of the note that it may cause problems. I'm trying to find out if charter has time restrictions on traffic cause my downloads are down to 1-2KBps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 The torrent you're trying to download appears to be a fake actually.That many reported seeds with 0 availability when you have connected peers indicates that.Do openoffice torrents exhibit the same behavior?
