Did you make sure you saved to the same directory as you did last time? Like if you saved to c:\, did you save it to c:\ again?

No I'm on dsl. :P Bittorent needs a complete redesign. Since it's open-source maybe someone can change it so it works really well.

it does work well, if your happy with kazaa then just use that, but i know if i want brand new releases kazaa is not the place to get them from.

I had this happen to me 2 times today, on about 80% and i pulled the plug because i was pissed off, and it restarted i did it again later on about 70% (same file) and it reset, oh well its nearly done again.

I find the concept of BitTorrent useless.
Your only chance of finding a file is through verifieds, which is a concept known to provide no sources.
Just use a file-sharing program.
I've found copies of a lot of operating systems using 'Raza.

As I said in the last post about BT,you don't get any fakes threw BT.This is alot better then Kazaa,especially if you have bandwidth limits.I have downed almost 100 gig off BT in the last 2 months,I have probably only downed about 50 gigs since I started using Kazaa about 2 years ago.
I have gotten all the newest games threw BT within four or five days of there release,you can't say that about Kazaa.Each P2P has it's benefits,BT is best for new files,Kazaa is best for older stuff.Plain and simple.

I like BitTorrent because of its ability to provide file integrity, something that Kazaa (sorely) lacks.

BT is great for new stuff. Anything older than a week, maybe even a few days, will be gone.

But the really good stuff stays alive for a month or so.
