Torrent stopped at 99.9%

[victord66]

I have a torrent that has been stuck at 99.9% for almost six months. I've upload 6.5 times what I've downloaded but every time I start it up there are no seeds but quite a few peers. What to do?

[azaxmaxy]

there might be 2 things things i know:

1-you are realy stuck at 99.9 but i don't think so
2-there is a thumb file in the torrent just select it and choose not to download

i hope this help

[victord66]

Thanks, but there's only one file and that's an avi. No thumbs..

[azaxmaxy]

it might be a hidden file

[victord66]

If it's hidden, how to I 'un-hide' it?

[nadeem111as]

ya check also that
chose recheck button from the client you use

[victord66]

I did a manual hash check and still only one file, showing 512KB remaining. 0 seed 13 peer. I would have thought that among the 13 peers that, there would be this little bit remaining, no?

may be it is all you stuck on 99.9
it happen to me
so search other tracker for the same file (exactlly the same)
and download the torrent from it you will complete the rest

have you tryed playing it ?

[Dedalus^]

if its at 99.9%, you can watch the movie and it will be fine.

but to unhide everything, just go to Tools>folderoptions>view
and check show hidden files.

try rechecking your torrent first though.

In your client check for peers tab and see what the other leechers % is, if all 99.9% you gonna have to wait till seeder comes back to complete torrent.

Holy crap six months? You must be really patient.

Just stop it and watch the AVI with 99.9% downloaded... your not going to miss much. =/

It'll be an incomplete AVI file, so it might not play, but there are apps that can repair incomplete movies so they play as if they are complete.

If there is a thumbs.db in the torrent, it will show in the files column in ur torrent client...it can be hidden only in windows explorer. If it's at 99.9% most media players will play it fine and will skip the missing portion (can't be more than a couple of secs)

If it's a popular movie, then there are sure to be other torrents with the same file on public sites such as torrentspy, mininova and isohunt. Try searching and u might find one with seeders....then simply add the tracker or resume.

I should have tried this long ago. I just tried playing the incomplete bc file and it plays just fine. Stupid me. I could kick myself. Obviously the .1% missing is not needed. :-(

Oh and another thing...do urself a favor and stop using BitComet :P

[victord66]

Hmmm...I'm really used to BitComet and am reluctant to switch unless someone can recommend a much better client...with the same/better features....??
