DmartinS Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 I'm curious why many files that I'm downloading get stuck, or remain incomplete at over 90% downloaded? It's frustrating. Any thoughts? Can I somehow access the majority of the file while foregoing the last 6% etc? Many thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DmartinS Posted April 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 Hi Harold, Thanks for the response. I believe that there are no current seeds. It says 0 of 0. I file I have is 99.4% complete. It's weird that I couldn't sneak in that last bit of file. Logic would say that I was downloading the file from one torrent available and the other side logged off, etc. I have several files that are over 95% complete but just died. My first thought was that Bitorrent somehow locked the final transfer until I paid for membership. It seems coincidental that I have all of these files that are falling short. Furthermore, is there any way to access the incomplete file(aka if it's a song) and get most of it. Is the file linear. Meaning if I could open a 99.4% completed file, would I theoretically be able to listen to most of the song with the end being chopped? Hope this makes sense. Otherwise, is it just a matter of hoping that the original seeder(file origination) gets back online and allows that last bit of transfer? Thanks again.

Harold Feit Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 IF the availability is less than 1.0 the torrent won't complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
