hello,

did you check the seed & peers, if you try downloading a torrent without seeders or only one, you must wait this one is in the swarm

yes, there is seeds & peers, my speed is downloading at high speed, but the KB doesn't change..

here is the screenshot

the image shows i have downloaded this torrent for about 2minutes, and my downloaded KB seems lesser than my upload??? my download speed average 10kB/s, upload is lesser, and i need about 8 hours to download the 11.1%, OMG! any idea?? thank you..

update your bitcomet.. i had that problem using v1.0

but when i upgraded to 1.02 it fixed the problem

I have v1.02 and that same thing is happening to me, how is that explained now?

you downlaod error data.

stop it,and hash check again.

I do that, but it just hangs at around 97 percent completed, and I have plenty of seeders/peers, download rate is up to 90 kbs and the file is only 45mb. I've been watching it do this for 2 days.

(Because I don't feel like repeating myself, I'll just copy/paste what I wrote on my blog. ;-) )

The Long-time seeding feature is a new system, but BitComet lacks one feature. It doesn't block "Bad-peers" in the long-time seeding swarm!

What does that mean?

That means: You can download a torrent, and when your torrent reach about 90-99%, your client keeps downloading data, but the torrent will never reach 100%! Maybe it will, but with the cost of having downloaded several of extra data (in some instances; Gigabytes.).

Why does it do that?

I haven't analyzed it technically, but after what I can observe, the high-speed long-time peers drown the good BitTorrent-peers in the swarm. That means BitComet will prioritize the "high-speed long-time seeder peers" in advance of the "normal" BitTorrent swarm.

The problem is just that some of these "high-speed long-time seeder-peers" are sending BAD DATA to you. When it does that, BitComet will continually fail the hash-check of a downloaded piece and re-download it in an infinite loop until that bad peer disconnects (and if it's a server; it'll never disconnect, and BitComet will never finish the download.).

A work-around when you encounter the problem described above is to, of course, disable the feature. You do that like this:

Right-click on your task --> Choose "Properties" --> Now, on that screen, remove the mark from: "Search for HTTP/FTP Download Source". Now, click OK and do a "Manual Hash-check". (Right-click on your task and choose: "Manual hash-check")

Continue your task. It should now finish within short time.

I've reported this directly to the developers, and they've responded that they'll look through the code and improve the hash-check algorithm. Let's hope it gets fixed in BitComet V. 1.03.

I just saw your screenshot.

It doesn't seem like you're connected to any "high-speed long time seeder-peers."

-

That means it's one of the BitTorrent peers that keep sending Bad data to you. I thought BitComet automatically blocked bad-peers from the swarm, but I see now it doesn't.

-

The only thing you can do is to STOP the task and do a manual hash-check. If that doesn't fix the problem, it seems like BitComet has downloaded and accepted a bad-data package. Now, it starts to "contradict" itself. The package fails the hash-check, but BitComet wants to keep the package, because it thinks the package is okay. So it keeps re-downloading good packages, but those good packages aren't what BitComet is looking for, and it'll just freeze in the same %-amount, and re-download packages. (That is of course only a logic conjecture, but it's the only explanation of the phenomenon I can think of.)

-

If that is so, delete the task ONLY and re-download the torrent where you found it. Point the torrent to the folder with the unfinished files. BitComet should automatically begin a hash-check and continue downloading as normal.

-

Report back and say if it helped. If it did, my conjecture might be correct.

i did tried before like you said.. delete the task then redownload it at the same folder.. it still same, the data will just freeze like what i mentioned.

after i've read the abovementioned link, i tried to rollback to v0.70, i think it works, here's the image...

it download every data normally.. but it look slower than newer version.. newer version seem not very stable? buggy?

and 1 more question.. what version allow us to view the snapshots? v0.70 dont have snapshots feature, and newer version only shows up advertisements -.-"

Thanks
