I was downloading Enter the Matrix all in one Bittorrent and now it gives me errors and won't continue downloading. Also when it was downloading I noticed there were no seeders and the largest someone had was 87%. does someone know if this is a fake

The error I am getting is "Problem connecting to tracker"
I am sorry for posting this here I should of put it in Gameworld but I was thinking about the movie
I am also seeing a lot of posts about it being stuck at 87% as well

Huh...well first off what bittorrent website were you downloading from? Cuz the big ones usually pull fake files rather early...tracker problems is very common...happnens all the time, but everyone being stuck at 87%....hmmm...thats probably due to no seeders with the entire file.

everyone on bt who is dl enter the matrix is stuck on 87% the fact is u will most likley never get off it, unless the whole bt community, who might i say are all pretty annoyed about the amount of people leeching off our wonderful sharing network, the amount of leeching is unbarable all we ask is u leave the window open at least a few hours insted of saying oh ive got the file that was fast now i&#39;ll leave&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33; all get up and say lets share, there are no seeders for that file, which means there are no people with the whole file who are sharing, this means, like me and everyone else out there that u are stuck on 87% cos thats the most anyone who is online has.

As u can tell im a bit annoyed about the leeching :angry:

the most u can do is find an ftp or buy the game, make cd image files and return it

Guys, it&#39;s not so hard to search for yourself.
There are plenty topics about Bittorrent and Bittorrent site listings.

Here goes, Bittorrentsites (http://home.quicknet.nl/qn/prive/romeria/bittorrentsites.htm) or this site (http://members.chello.nl/~p.wiersema/list.html) have an up-to-date list of bittorrent sites

As I&#39;m in a good mood I searched for you and 0-Mile (http://www.0-mile.com/torrents/) still has some seeders for Enter the Matrix.

Now remeber, once you have downloaded it KEEP THE WINDOW OPEN TO SEED IT TO MORE USERS&#33;

God I hope Suprnova comes back, was the only real source for getting reliable games, as there are never any sources on kazaa....

Well, blame the BBC and Slashdot.

The BBC reported a bogus story, that a DVD quality version of Matrix reloaded was on bittorrent.

Slashdot had already made big Bittorrent story (without the bogus story). Leaving a lot of torrent sites victim to the &#39;slashdot effect&#39;.

Coupled with bandwith problems for most bittorrent sites, it freaked a lot of webmasters (and hosters) and consequently we now have a bittorrent &#39;blackout&#39;

Hope everything recovers soon...

The reason Bittorent is stuck at 87% is because it is a shitty filesharing program. If it where to be successful it would have found a way to share files instead of leaving the window open. They are just asking themselves to get mad at leechers, their program creates a ton of them

Ho ho, going on the offensive, are we?

Well, then just be happy you can download copyrighted material at all, ungrateful one&#33;
If you&#39;re not happy with bittorrent go back to using Kazaa, I&#39;m sure there should be a few copies by now.

The fact is it was never a big problem before (only with very old files).
Now with this BBC article (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/film/2940270.stm) and the slashdot effect the demand was just too great for the sites to keep up with.

Now let go of the anger and try again.
Have you even tried my prior suggestions? I just checked and 0-Mile still has a seeder online, so grab it while you can.

I never went on the iffensive it just seemed you were. I think bittorrent is great at getting some files but it is limited with its sharing ability since it can&#39;t have a database of files for a user to share. Maybe if they had a window you could open to share a directory it would work better. But sharing just one file at a time isn&#39;t as produuctive as it can be

I always left my BT files on for as long as possible after download, unfortunatly my ip disconnects me every 2 hours or so (ranges from days to hours) and i have to go and reset the box (NTL uk user) so its difficult to not be branded a leecher, for the few weeks i have been using bittorent i have got almost all my torrents from suprnova, come back soon&#33; we need you&#33;

What other good torrent sites r there around? I know several of the good ones r down but I&#39;m wondering whether any good ones are still active, and also when any of the good ones (like suprnova.org) might return. Does anyone know this?
