I started a BT session for a movie last night and I
just logged into my file server to check its status:
 This means that myself and 10 other people have at least 99.4% of the file and we are all waiting for one person with the last 16 parts to connect to the torrent. So close, yet so far... |

BTDT. Seen it soooooo often on almost all the P2P systems I've ever used.

so copy the damn file out of your 'partial' directory, rename it to the proper extension and play it.

The same thing is happening to me right now as a matter of fact, trying to download Battlestar Galactica season 1 and 2, and no one is uploading.
Dammit. |

It's going to suck if I have to nuke that torrent after downloading 682M of a 687M avi file. I wonder if there is a program that will allow me to insert "Scene Missing" cards for those 5M of I-Frames ala the Closer video.

What movie?
Also, is BitTorrent faster/better/have more files than Limewire and other P2P programs? What are the advantages of BitTorrent? |

Stump Sluts 8.  Actually, it's worse: it's anime. Only Yesterday
BitTorrent breaks files up into small parts. You then "trade" the parts that you have with other people for parts that you don't. The advantage is that you are distributing a file before you have completed the download. Therefore, the file is propagated though the network faster (assuming you have alot of people sharing parts). The problem that I ran into is that no one has all of the parts therefore, we are all waiting for someone with the missing parts to connect. eta: I've been watching this session for about 10 minutes and some cock-tease seed keeps connecting, not giving up any parts, then disconnecting. Fuck it. I'm not boredenough to watch a BT session all night. |

have you tried a multinetwork client, like Shareaza?
Connect to gnutella1, gnutella 2, and Edonkey2000 at the same time, with interoperability. |

I used Limewire for awhile. I got so many trojans and adware that I uninstalled it.

I actually am, I think. I'm using Azureus and I see that there are a couple of Shareaza peers. BTW, I took your prior advice and copied down the 99.4% file. I was able to play it and seek though it. I'm not chomping at the bit to watch this so I'll give it some more time to pick up the rest, but it's good to know for the future that a partial AVI will play. |

Post the torrent link or PM it to me.
I can try to see if I can reach a seeder to finish it up. |

That's happened to me before, but not very often. One time I had a 4.5 GB download halted with 3 MB left to go. That sucked. Left it running 3 days before a seed connected, and my download finished. but I wasn't going to lose that 4.497 GB.

I hate it when that happens!
I started downloading a movie about a week ago (I use Azureus), and it just finished last night. I'd see peers in the Swarm tab, but wouldn't connect to them, so I couldn't get much from them. It was slow as balls. So anyway, I signed up for Netflix, and I'll be putting my DVD burner to good use :) |
