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
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....??
