Any mac users experiencing/have experienced this problem??
-
it's concerning my Transmission application... been using it for like almost a year, and for the past few weeks it's been screwing with me.
the download gets to about 47%, then after a few minutes when i check back, it becomes 46% again and this continues on and on and on.
throughout my whole download process, it's been going back and forth in percentage, but generally it's always been moving forward... so i thought it's just some harmless problem... but now i realise that it's just staying at 46%-47%
howhowhow.??
oh! and when i check the torrent's info, there is like 8++GB downloaded (even tho my torrent is only 700MB), and yet only like a few MBs of "Valid DL".
whyyyyy?!?!?
there has been forums saying that demonoid has blocked transmission... and i'm a demonoid user. is that whyyy?
:s
if no one here knows wth im talking about either because none of u own a mac or none of u know what torrents or Transmission is... then cheers anyway...
i'll start posting in international forums then. hahah -
I'm sorry but I don't use torrents.
-
A poisoned torrent, maybe?
-
nah i'm rather sure that my torrent file isnt poisoned... hahah... it's like super double certified to be a cool torrent from demonoid.
haizzz. i'm trying out some other applications now, but none of them work as well as Transmission! -
It's not impossible that some RIAA/whatever guy uses a Demonoid account to poison it - after all, Demonoid is not that private as a tracker.Originally posted by normanndeverdilak:nah i'm rather sure that my torrent file isnt poisoned... hahah... it's like super double certified to be a cool torrent from demonoid.

And obvious signs like this just shows that it is poisoned. Either that, or
1. Your Transmisson torrent client is a screwed piece of shyt. Get uTorrent.
2. You see many ants crawling in and out of your router/modem. Get a new one.
The jumping percentage of 46% and 47% could be that the same, poisoned, pieces of the torrent were being downloaded and failed the hash check, hence discarded, and your torrent client insists that it MUST get that piece, or that every other piece is poisoned, thus the process repeats, resulting in the fluctuating percentage.
