noingwhat Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 For some strange reason, this one torrent keeps jumping up to ~97.2 and then falls back to ~96.7 and it just keeps dancing back and forth between these two, despite the fact that it says I am downloading rather quickly. This hasn't just happened once either, it has been doing this for the past few hours. What could possibly cause it to load backwards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noingwhat Posted June 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Would you mind explaining a bit more, and is there anything I can do to stop this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Depending on the cause there may be nothing you can do.On the info tab, do you have the hashfails value increasing every time it rolls back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noingwhat Posted June 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Yes it is, and I really wish I had asked about this sooner. This is only a 5GB torrent and I'v downloaded over 16 gigs with almost 3,000 hash fails. Problem is it has 360 availability so I have a hard time believing it can't find a usable file for me.

noingwhat Posted June 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 there are also about 5000 seeds but I'm only connected to 360 of them. Is there maybe a way to change who I am seeding off of? Would that even do any good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 What specific uTorrent version are you using?Have you tried turning down the peer connection limits per-torrent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noingwhat Posted June 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 I'm using 3.3 Alpha build 27280. I would give that a try, but now It's telling me there are files missing from the job...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Stop the torrent, shut down, switch to the 3.2 release candidate, re-launch, right-click and force a re-check then start the torrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noingwhat Posted June 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Wow, I tried that, and rechecked it, it said I was at 99.8%. Continued the download and it finished in about a minute and a half..... Hmmm.. perhaps this is the reason why most people don't use the unstable alpha versions.Thank you so much!
