| 428761 | 2006-02-10 00:29:00 | dont pirate its illegal!!!!!! (problem solved?) Why is downloading episodes of a TV series pirating? They are going to be shown, or have been on, TV. If they have released the season / episodes on DVD for sale then I would say it is pirating. |

| 428765 | 2006-02-10 04:45:00 | I have read a number of threads in the past where Torrents stopping at 99% are related to corruption caused by firewalls often Zonealarm(and other misconfigured firewalls to be fare). If you have a firewall try turning it off for a few torrents (preferably use Sygate or other firewalls that are known not to cause issues with P2P torrents). Your problem may be completely unrelated, but just a thought. Also downloading TV programs is DEFINATELY pirating. The TV shows rely on Income from television networks, whom in turn rely on money from commercials or fees ie SKY. By downloading you are not paying a fee or watching a commercial (although personally I couldn't care a less), just don't mistake it as legal. |

| 428769 | 2007-10-01 18:22:00 | I'm a new member of torrentleech and this is their answer on the subject: HOW TO - DRIVE DOWNLOADS PAST 99% when creating a torrent of files within a folder in Windows XP an extra file maybe added to your torrent called: thumbs.db this additional file may cause problems with peers getting stuck at 99%. The solution to this is to either delete this file prior to creating the torrent ~ or disableing the creation of it in the first place. Ive seen numerous queries regarding this on many different forums ~ usually ~ I'm stuck at 99% or When I try to reseed, my client tells me I only have 99% So heres the solution : Stop Windows from saving the thumbnail cache (THUMBS.DB) Intended For Windows XP only Windows XP, by default, shows the thumbnails view of certain folders, whether you want it to or not. Even if you choose Details (or some other view) as your default by going to Tools -> Folder Options -> View tab and click Apply to All Folders, Explorer may still revert back to the clumsy Thumbnails view. It does this for any folder in which it finds the THUMBS.DB file; naturally, if you delete this file, it won't happen again. The problem is that Windows seems to repeatedly recreate the THUMBS.DB file automatically. Here's how to stop this from happening: In Explorer, go to Tools -> Folder Options or open the Folder Options icon in the Control Panel. Choose the View tab, and tick the Do not cache thumbnails option. Click Ok. You can also change this setting in the Registry: Open the Registry Editor (regedit.exe). Navigate to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\ Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced. Double-click the DisableThumbnailCache value, or go to Edit -> New -> DWORD value to create a new value by that name. Enter 1 for its value. Click Ok and close the Registry Editor when you're done; you'll have to log off and then log back on for this to take effect.. |
