For the first time in two decades of my tumultuous relationship with the coldhearted mistress that is Microsoft Windows, I am glad that it turned itself on. It didn’t update itself. It didn’t even bluescreen for no reason and update itself in its confusion.
The torrent finished downloading about an hour before I got home, and by the time I noticed it finished, the elusive seeder was long gone. I feel oddly at ease. I feel oddly… responsible. For propagating knowledge to future seekers.
Is this dull enough for here?
Have this terrible photoshop bodge job as an offering of my goodwill.
I have so many torrents sitting at 80-99% for weeks and weeks–not even that obscure of media. You’ve given me a glimmer of hope!
I had an obscure one at 99% for weeks before I realised why it would never finish. The torrent had a text file with the name “Dowloaded from torrentsite” that nobody had been downloading, so it wasn’t available. The main file was 100% though.
I probably have a few that are the same way. Should probably go through and uncheck that content so at least my “Stalled downloading” queue looks a little cleaner.
Have you tried adding the trackers from newtrackon? That should be all the stable public trackers, so if there is someone seeding the file on a public tracker you’ll find out.
Otherwise it’s just a waiting game.
No, but I will check it out thanks!
