Don't know much, but LT seed means "long term" seed. You can set up so you can be a long term seeder... Often pictures are done with this. Also often each file in a torrent has a separate LTseed, so if there's an info file at the end of a torrent download, the original LTseeder may not save it and releases the main file only for LTseeding. Thus you may have the main file, and a small info file is missing: The LTseeder reads 100% but your download is stuck at 99.9%. Because it's an LTseed, the original torrent may be old and few people are interested enough to keep it available, so you may never get the info file. Having said this, it's frequent to upload something and get up to 99.something%, and have the seeder drop the file off, and you never finish it. Particularly bad with .RAR files as the whole download (which you may have paid for per Mbyte... I know I do) is a waste of disk space... Most annoying! But there it is. You can try attaching a comment to the torrent to ask for re-seeders, but I don't know that this works. Best to avoid this by not downloading stale torrents.

Unfortunately Jarrahdale is correct. I have had this happen to me (only a couple of times) when I try to download an old movie (Airport from the 1970's) all I can say is you are not alone and "It Happens". Brain storm and find interest in something else. A Bc friend, Steve

You can try disabling unneeded files in the torrent, then run a manual hash check.

Its possible that you can get the complete movie, but not the "readme" or .nfo files that the LT-seeder didn't download.
