My Torrent Has Got Stuck

[Sparkle1984]

I don't believe it! One of my torrent downloads has just got stuck at 99.87%
It was doing fine earlier this evening, then it just got stuck at that point. The strange thing is, it still says Active in the status column, and 34 sources in the Client column. Even when I click Find More Sources, nothing happens.
Shareaza is my BT client, and this has never happened before.

Theres no seed on the torrent, A seed will have 100% of the file, all of you on the torrent now are peers that torrent will never complete 'till a seed joins it,you need to go back to where you got the torrent and request a reseed B)

Something could have stuffed up, what about pausing it annd resuming.

[ThePlasticSurgeon]

It could be a bug in your bittorrent client*.

*An unlikely cause, but I thought I'd mention it.

whats the file? if its a movie it should be fine as it is, you'll just loose some of the credits

[Mad Cat]

Sometimes it does that but the file will still work fine.

Try it.

Thanks everyone for your advice.

It's an album file, and I tried to open it, but it's not in mp3 format yet. I'll try again to finish the download in a minute (i've been busy with christmas over the last few days, so haven't had a chance to do it yet), if not I'll have to go back to the suprnova forums and ask for the re-seed.

Edit: It's OK now, it completed 100% by itself!! There are probably more people online now because it's a Saturday.

Click detials, and see if it says 100%

This did happen with an old version of Shadows Bit Torrent . They have now re-written and got rid of the the bug. Use the latest version of Shadows Bit Torrent-should be no problem!
