428750 2006-02-09 07:04:00 Using Bitlord and have been trying to grab the new season of 24 out of the states and 3 episodes have stalled, 2 at 99.9% with only a 256K chunk to complete and the 3rd requires 22Meg to complete.

The trackers appear fine, with seeds, peers and leaches all connected and the health on 1 is 200% yet it won't complete

details as follows for one of the files;

Torrents\24.S05E06.HDTV.XviD-LOL.torrent
info # 4f7a13743b310c04a84c50e3bf1c43acd648eb6b

I have done a manual # check on the files and they appeared to be ok
the download folder shows a number of winrar archive files with one should as bitlord incomplete.
Could I delete the incomplete file and force it to re-download those chunks?

Suggestions please gentlemen

try usuing utorrent to get the rest of the files (www.utorrent.com)

i know of some torrent clients that have issues with nod32
antivirus so it might be that as well

428752 2006-02-09 07:39:00 I recommend utorrent aswell :thumbs: Overdrive_5000 (4950)
428753 2006-02-09 07:54:00 Azureus, fools, the only one to use is Azureus :thumbs:

The 99.9% isn't an uncommon problem with torrents though. I'll hunt it out.

BTW, what OS, what ISP?

Edit:

Ok, this should be generic to all torrents Why Torrents Stop At 99% (azureus.aelitis.com) Follow the links if the stop below 99%, eg' 97-98%

428754 2006-02-09 08:39:00 I recommend utorrent aswell :thumbs:
Has worked well on some other computers of mine, but not on the one I'm using at the moment for some reason, so I use BitComet on this one instead.

Used Azureus earlier, but it bogged down the system too much (bloody Java), so I switched.

428756 2006-02-09 09:53:00 uTorrent all the way. Have had 40 files at once downloading and all complete. Some just take a little longer than others. Big John (551)
428757 2006-02-09 13:38:00 i used to use azur becuase of the features of it, but i could never game smoothly and run it at the same time as i gamed, utorrent is just so much better. think it comes down to BLOODY JAVA! Talon (2871)

i setup the 1st six episodes of the new season and can't complete episodes 1,5 & 6.

I renamed the offending incomplete rar archive file as a doc and it went away and downloaded the portion again but also stopped at 99.9% again.

One's got to wonder if the seeder stopped seeding at 99.9% but there is a heap of files out there with this tracker so go figure.
