is that you have 98.6% complete on a torrent and it stops.
and so you look at the info page and everyone is stoped on the same place you are.
it only took 3 hours to d/l but that's ok becaue my lack of attention to detail has wasted my time again.

...please say im the not the only here one that does this --__--;

life sucks...

lol its annoying, but just be patient. More than likely seeders will come on eventually.

I rarely have this problem because I mostly use tracker sites, the torrents always have plenty of seeders, and it shows you when they are going to be taken off the tracker.

If that happens to me i'm going to fucking flip. I just spent the last 8 hours(goddamn I wish I coulda got 200k seeders) dling an 1.86gig file and it nearin the end. Also if yeah using Azureus, try the autospeed plug in. It seems to work.


http://www.mininova.org/ is an good tracker. I've found most of the torrents to work effincently.

good site Untrue, until i saw that 1 person was seeding the Son of the Mask.
honestly, who the hell wants to download that, and who the hell has the time to make it a damn torrent!


edit: here is a decent one, just saw that my torrentsoup is no longer. but check this one out for roms, you can download the fullsets of snes, genesis, mame, etc. in one go: http://www.livetorrents.com/torrents.php?category=10&active=1&sort=summary.seeds

Those 2 sites are really nice guys, these are the 2 tracker sites I use.

www.filelist.org - Good for movies, PS2 games and pr0n.
www.4pirates.com - Good for PS2, XBOX, GCN games, also has emu on there but I havent looked.

Also www.filemp3.org - If you didnt guess its for mp3's :D

You don't need an mod chip for the gamecube(last I heard). All you have to do is open it up, and switch two wires around. Which requires an soluding iron, and the instructions you can find on the internet(I found this out long time ago so I forget where I got it). Along with some compentants in yeah hand eye cordination.
If you can't find hex screw drivers(female), ask you're radio shack for some cell phone screw drivers, that should do the trick. If not, try the bic pen.

Also I have an 3mb connection I wana take advantage of. Is there anyway I can make Azurues DL faster? I mean Ive tried the autospeed and it shiat(i using it with out and my speed is constant). 45k is kinda shitty when I've seen 100k before.

No, this operation is to bi-pass there PAL contrals so you can play imports. I don't think you can burn those games to an normal minidisk. But it wouldn't hurt to try.

Google came up with this http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/61273

You can try burning mini dvd-r disks if above doesn't work, or is to much hassle.

It seems like more of a pain i the ass to do that crap with GC games than it's worth but I'll give it a shot...one of these days :P

It's about 1:20am and those torrent sites are telling me that they have reached their limit and to try back later.
So I'm going to try a few more times later on in the morn and try back then.

God, I need a job...and a life. --__--;;

mininova is the best site I've seen yet but then again...I haven't seen very many.

Yeah...that crap can't be legal.

But I finally get to play Ghost in the shell psx game.
JOY!
