    Second Reason


    There is another possible to cause download stuck at 99%

    This is been happen some times in different clients n trackers, This is usually result from NAT routers that are replacing legitimate data into packets, when the packet fails to hash check because the router scramble it. Then the client reject the request and ask for the data again.

    These are some ways of fixing the problem


    1 Do not run your router in DMZ mode

    2 If your router a Game mode option, Turn it OFF

    3 Try connecting directly to the internet direct, bypassing your NAT router entirely to finish the last piece

    4 Update the firmware if your modem or router freezes or reboots

    5 Disable IP resolving and DHT and reduce the number connections

    **This one saved my day many times, always thought I wasted a bunch of bandwith when my downloads got stuck was so not impressed Let me know what you guys think, throw me a thank you **

    DMZ no longer causes problems on modern routers, but you shouldn't use that except for the very few and specific circumstances where regular port forwarding is not effective (which is not BitTorrent's case).
