Torrents

[LiAM]

Okay so I'm being illegal and downloading music.
Two problems so far, a few worked fine, took about 10 minutes.

[list][*]But one is now stuck at 99.99% after 3 minutes, and hasn't changed for 20 minutes.
[*]The other is that there was on [FH] that downloaded quickly, but I missed an album, so I removed it, downloaded it again (selecting the album I missed) and this time, instead of an instant download, it's at 0% and has been for about 20 minutes.
[/list]

Not really sure how I can get help for this, but tips on upping download speed or helping to kickstart something from 99.99 > 100.
I forced the activation of some of the torrents too, not sure what it did, but nothing's changed.

[i]*I respect all artists, if I had the financial means, I would purchase all albums and memorabilia happily.
But online prices are high and shops don't suit my taste. I think of it as someone else has bought the album, but they're lending it to me to borrow.[/i]

I prefer RealPlayer (search google) it let's you get music and youtube videos free. Vevo on youtube has most well known artists.

Sorry, but this is probably torrent stuff... It's just luck most times... You may have downloaded something rapidly and the next time you try to download it, it won't download or stick at 99%... I've been there...

You've just reworded what I said.

Be sure to refresh the Trackers (Restarting the Program may help) Also if you are using UTorrent, make the Priority (Right Click the Torrent) Very High.

I've done except for restarting the program.

What I've done for the one stuck on 99.9 is:
deleted it and done it again, still stuck, the download rate went form 4.8 - 2.0 -0.0 and the ETA timer just went from 10 seconds to weeks.

Hmmmmm either the ISP is blocking the Traffic or The Toirrent may be infected. Is the Album Zipped up?

[LiAM]

Urm nah the Albums just came in one Torrent, they're publicly viewable too.

Well with the 99.99 [UB], I just opened the folder and dragged the songs out into iTunes, I figured the 0.01% missing wasn't serious and yep, the songs seem to work fine.

The only problem I have now is [FH]

I downloaded FH1 + FH3, realised I missed FH2, so removed it and then selected FH2, but that's being really slow, well it's still at 0%, when FH1+3 only took 3 minutes.

Eh... Tbh I don't use torrents anyway.=/ Usually because there are no seeds and it takes ages, my computer being slow isn't helping much there. I use mediafire most of the time, if you type the arist + album name + mediafire, or even just album + mediafire it should work most of the time, I even get my doujin music from there.

There are usually enough people who listen to any kind of music but not all of them are online and that's annoying.:'3

You never mentioned the number of Seeds/Leechers, I commonly get that problem mainly because with no seeds that last 0.1% isn't uploaded by anyone.

[LiAM]

How do I search and download from MediaFire? It only brings up my files :/

[LiAM]

Well generally it's 0/1 seeders and about 2-9 peers, but only about 2-4 are active.

[Cin]

That's your problem right there. The Leechers don't have that last 0.1%. Until that Seeder comes on you'll never get 100%

[LiAM]

S'why I wish more people liked my music XD
