brassholio Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 I started downloading a torrent in bitcommet but in the past I have found that if it stops in there I would give it a try in utorrent and it might work. All day I've been watching the torrent in both because there is peers available to download off, with higher percentage rates, but it just stopped at 72%. I clicked update tracker and force start a few times throughout the day but as I was searching the forum to see why my download had stopped I noticed that the download in bitcommet was going. Problem was it had gone back down to 0.0%. I performed a re-check in both, and in utorrent, as it was checking the percent I had downloaded went down to 0.0%. I could preview the file before hand and now I can't. I closed the programs and opened them up again and it was still 0. I don't think I pressed anything to delete the files. Sorry about involving bitcommet in here too but I didn't know if it was relevant or not. Thats all, cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 Uh, are you using BitComet and µTorrent simultaneously? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brassholio Posted May 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 I was in this case because as I said I wasn't having any luck in bitcomet. I've seen several times on this forum about someone banning bitcomet from downloads or something along those lines. I do have both programs but the torrent had stopped in both of them. I do however stop the download in one before I re-check it in the other if that makes any difference at all. I think I read somewhere to do that.

Ultima Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 Is BitComet adding the bc! extension to the files? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brassholio Posted May 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 nope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brassholio Posted May 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 There is a windows media file of the torrent in my downloads folder and its over 10meg, wouldn't this mean that the file is still there and should be able to be completed? please help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 How about just using one application entirely? I'm not sure why you'd switch between both in the first place O.o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brassholio Posted May 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 Didn't you read what I posted before??? 1. I get faster speeds in bitcomet but utorrent sometimes has peers that bitcomet doesn't. 2. Having 1 or the other isn't going to help me now because the download disappeared in both.

Ultima Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 I can see people using two clients to download different torrents, but not the same ones. If you're going to switch between clients all the time, you're wasting your time -- faster here, faster there, time wasted comparing and sampling download speeds. In fact, there is NO way to say that one client is faster than the other unless you have a large sample of torrents tested on both and compared their mean speeds.My point in raising the fact that you use both programs interchangably for the same torrent is that that's most likely causing your problem.

brassholio Posted May 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 except I started the download in bitcomet then went to continue in utorrent. I have done this many times and other people do it too. It didn't actually download anything through utorrent. I don't interchange during individual torrents going back and forth, that would be stupid. Bitcomet was the main one I used and if I wasn't successful I'd use utorrent. I highly doubt this is the problem. Anyone have any other ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
