TORRENT DOWNLOADS

[homedeeth]

when downloading, it gets to 99.9% at a decent download rate and then slows right down to 0.1% and doesn't complete.

That's when the virus is downloading.

Might depend on whether there are just leechers, no seeds, left.

[jacksprat16]

bibble is right check your seeds ans leechers boxes if there's no seed showing it will finish off next time you start it up say next day when maybe seeds have come back on line
take no notice of york so long as you have something like avg antivirus on and it's up to date and a good anti-malware prog you'll get no virus iv'e been doing this for years NEVER had any virus through torrents

[AlBags]

That's why torrents can be crap.
Great timewasters.
There are far better things to use than torrents.

[AlBags]

If you download a keygen, crack patch or similar .. it will screw you in the end .. as ANY executable or html content can.

[piggynose]

u torrent is pretty good.

[AlBags]

NO torrent will guarantee a perfect file.
Downloading from different users and joining parts often results in errors.

[Answerprancer]

I've never come across this - what Torrent DL framework do you use ?
I use Vuze.

Many people download the item and then disappear as soon as they have got it meaning that many people are leeching off a small number of seeders.

I switched to Newsgroups last year. Quicker downloads and more reliable.

[mungbeanz]

I find that Pirate Bay is a reliable torrent host. Just check before you download the file that there are a balance of leechers and seeders. Its also a good idea to check the comments section as this should give you an idea of how quickly the file will download and if it ever gets stuck at a certain percentage.
I have to disagree with AIBags. Maye you have had a bad experience? I have downloaded thousands of torrents and never had a problem. Joining files together does not produce errors. Most computers will store files in seperate parts. As for keygens and cracks - over the years most of my games and programs have been torrents and all required cracks or key gens. Never had a problem. I am interested to hear about these far better things than torrents.

[ChuckFickens]

I love torrents...

They make me loads of extra beer money fixing people computers after they've been using them.
