DreadWingKnight Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 That's not where I was talking about.Availability is shown on the info tab of uTorrent with the problem torrent selected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreadWingKnight Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 Yeah, you have all of the pieces that are available for the torrent. Nothing we can do about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeiDoDei Posted December 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 So, only 21.6% of the pieces are available? :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 That's right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeiDoDei Posted December 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 May I ask how exactly 78.4% of the pieces are not available? how does that happen with a torrent? Any way to get those missing pieces? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 It usually happens towards the end of the torrent's lifecycle when the seeds start drying up. The only ways to get it so it can complete is to either request a reseed from someone who has the full file (don't do it on these forums, it's a bannable offense) or obtain the file via different means and integrate it in.

DeiDoDei Posted December 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 Okay, anyway to reseed it myself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 If you don't have the file obtained via another method, no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeiDoDei Posted December 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 ... if the availability section in the info tab on uTorrent were all green, would that mean I have all pieces? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 Not necessarily.The "Downloaded" section would need to be all green. Availability only means that the pieces exist among peers you're connected to (including yourself) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeiDoDei Posted December 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 OK. if both are green "Availability" and "Downloaded" -- does that mean it can complete 100%? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 If downloaded shows 100%, you've completed.If availability shows greater than 1.00 there's enough to complete if you haven't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeiDoDei Posted December 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 OK. if Availability is showing as 1.469 ... and downloaded shows as 47.0% ... is there enough to complete it?And what does it mean when the availability bar is all green, then quickly turns red, but then back to green?
