Torrent stopped at 99.9%

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. :-(
