torrent file stuck at 99.94% what to do?

[mr00420]

I have a torrent file stuck at 99.94% it's been up to 99.98% and gone back down. All sources are either choked or uninterested. Is there anything I can do to be able to finish off the file?

Chances are the file is finnished, try un raring it or burning it.

how many seeders are there?

You may be able to utilize it, depending on file type. If the file is a program, you should probably give up after a few days of retrying and delete the file. If it is a media file (mpeg, mp3, divx), you may try opening it in a viewer anyway and see how it goes.

It is suspected that this problem is sometime due to the badly implemented preview in the windows XP file explorer. Windows may creates a thumbs.db file in the directory that is being uploaded with bittorrent then not allow bittorrent to access it.

delete the thumbs.db file (mostly a hidden file)

Just try open the file, chances are its finnished, i joint seeded KOTOR2 and it said i was only at 99.2% even though i had the same files and my files worked and extracted into the bin and cues.

Go to details and see what hasnt finished.... delete that then restart the torrent ;)

tell the person who created the torrent to leave out thumbs.db
That might have been the problem.
