I'm sure someone out there is p*ssing on my battery :)
My torrent downloads reach 99.x% and then come to a grinding halt.
You can stand on your friggin head but you cannot get them going again :(
 
Depends on the torrent, is it relatively new or old? How many seeds and peers?

What isp?

That used to happen on WA when I was with them and then switch to Vox and the torrents finish.

Weird as fck and always thought it was just me.
 
Funny you ask what ISP, AH, I've never had this problem until they made it 18 hours free, yeah right :(
Torrent is pretty old but still shows 3 seeds.
 
Anyone using Telkom ISP noticed that downloads are capped at 1.0MBPS? Is there anyone that found a way around it?
 
What anti-virus and anti-malware are you using?

Cos programs like Malwarebytes will sometimes block dodgy IP connections - which you might need to finish the download.

Fixed it for him, just linked him to a different release and grabbed the incomplete episode.
 
depends on seeds and peers. If its old with 1 seed or something, then you will be lucky to finish it. The more seeds and peers the better

One needs to look at the peers and what percentage of the file they have. You might have ten seeders/peers but they might not have 100% of the file in which case your download won't complete.
