Zero byte complete files

Postby Kelvar on Thu Oct 30, 2008 12:10 pm

Well? Any ideas?, Oh wait, let me clarify. Downloading a massive torrent, some files were complete, when I copied them to view them, they were all zero bytes. The torrent was stopped in torrentstorm at the time, haven't had this problem before.

That's my working theory at the moment Nobby. The torrent was from mininova,about 100 seeds, 1500 leeches according to the search result. 26 gigs out of 46 wasted. Probably some brit behind it. :shock:

Hmmm, trying an alternate torrent, can't get better than dialup dl speeds. Must be a certain :vladd44 involved. Or a :bang2 .

Think I'll run for cover now. :arrow:

Ok, tried an alternate torrent, same result. Torrent is for a tv show (5 seasons), other torrents have been fine, Winmx is fine. Any ideas? Useful suggestions?

Tried a different Client?

I have had torrent files work with one but not another client before.

A different client? Never would have considered that. Guess I'll try Azureus. Thanks Vladd, I take back all the mean nasty (but true) things Nobby and I said about you. :P
