Noooooooooooo

Post by belchingmatt »

I managed to find a torrent I was looking for this morning and it only had one seeder. I thought I'd give it a go anyway and to my surprise it managed a reasonable 50kb/s. Rather than lose the connection I opted to stay at work late to give it time to finish. It had achieved 89.6% and the b'stard has just killed the connection. :angry:



Oh well, there's me complaining that I can't get hold of something I shouldn't have anyway. <!--emo&:rolleyes:--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='rolleyes.gif' /><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:whistle:--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/4013/140/emo/eusa_whistle.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='eusa_whistle.gif' /><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:lol:--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/laugh.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='laugh.gif' /><!--endemo-->

There are plenty more fish in the sea, get your tackle out and see what bites.

Well something has been happening. It climbs up to 23kb/s and then back to 0kb/s following a gaussian curve. I get about 0.1% of the total download but unfortunately there is a few minutes of nothing between each pulse. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->



I'll go home now and see if it improves.

I've been having torrent problems recently too - I've been trying to dl a batch of 6 films, about 4191mb total. It rushed up to 30% fairly quickly, and has been struggling ever since. It's now taken a whole week to get up to 62%. :angry:

It's strange though - even though there are up to 12 seeders, I'm still getting 1kb/s at best - quite often nothing at all.



I gave up last night and dl'ed the last three films from limewire - that finished overnight.



I tried to watch the first of the three films I got from the torrent - they're all corrupted. <!--emo&:rant:--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/4013/140/emo/angry1.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='angry1.gif' /><!--endemo-->



What a waste of time that was. <!--emo&:rolleyes:--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='rolleyes.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Great, I'm just about to head to work and the torrent is working properly again and will finish in five minutes. <!--emo&:rolleyes:--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='rolleyes.gif' /><!--endemo-->



I so wanted to take a day off work today and it would have been a great opportunity to watch the film but I remembered that I've got a meeting in the afternoon with someone trying to sell me software. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->



Oh well maybe tomorrow, but the trouble is that it wouldn't be spontaneous and therefore less than half the fun.
