lustrianna22 Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 I am a torrenting veteran and have been doing it for about 13 years. Not once in all those years have I ever had an issue as Im having now. The problem is as follows. As soon as the torrent im downloading finishes, it resets to 99.9% completed, states its "flushing to disc" and then the timer usually resets to saying it has a minute remaining. No matter what torrent i download and no matter what site i get it from they all act in this same way. Its extremely annoying as half of what Im downloading is useless without the last tiny file piece that refuses to finish downloading. one torrent managed to finish and I seeded for hours but as soon as I hit stop or exit utorrent the files go back to being 99.9% completed and i am unable to use them... Any ideas as to what could be causing this? All my setting are default, my port is forwarded and my speeds optimized through the speed test. Here is a screenshot of a torrent right as it completes and then another one a few seconds after is resets. help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naki Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 Is this a movie, software, or some other type of torrent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naki Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Is this a movie' date=' software, or some other type of torrent?[/quote']And that matters because?If it is software or a game and "cracks"/keygens are included, it could be an issue with the computer antivirus deleting those files. Thus the torrent goes back from 100% complete to 99.9% complete/etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciaobaby Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Fair point, though I would probably not include video files in that category, as they do not contain executable code. They can contain Windows Media Player hijacking code of course, but this is not picked up by most anti-virus or malware scanners until the video is played.

Naki Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 The original poster never told us what kind of file it is, maybe we need to wait for her to clarify.And I never said video files are in this category - I asked if it is a video file, if it was that, then we can rule that out and the problem is elsewhere.

ciaobaby Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Movie .. Video two different names for the same file types. Though 'movie' pertains more to a work of cinematography, while 'video' is used for digital versions of the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though 'movie' pertains more to a work of cinematography, while 'video' is used for digital versions of the process.It seems we have a (mis)communication issue here. I don't care what it is called, although we ASSUMEd it is a video file, it could be something else. (And of course the original poster, as it often happens, is MIA.)EDIT: Edited above post of mine to say "video file" instead of just "video".

lustrianna22 Posted March 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 The files are usually software with cracks. but I have no Real-Time Antivirus software whatsoever so its nothing like that causing the problem. I regularly scan for viruses using malwarebytes so no issues there. Still having this issue, still no luck solving it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciaobaby Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 The files are usually software with cracks. but I have no Real-Time Antivirus software whatsoever....That's somewhat risky considering. 'Cracked' software is dangerous, the people with the skills to reverse engineer software protection are also capable of building anything they want into the 'cracked' software, or anything they get paid to include and "drive by install" products pay a fairly high commission at places like ClickBank or Commission Junction.
