Hip Tracker Problem

Hey everyone...

It appears there is a major problem with the tracker - too many things going wrong for me to list. I will try to get it fixed this week, but I think it may drag out into the weekend, when I can dedicate a couple of hours to solving the issue.

Until then.. please bear with me.

I'm having problems downloading the 1990-04-06-Halifax DVD show. Twice my download failed when my file was in the high 90% range. The first time my file restarted at 85% and the second time it happened my file restarted at 79%. I'm losing more of my file each time I restart the torrent. Is the torrent corrupted or is this one of the problems Chris is having with the tracker?

Hey Hugh,

That's a new one, and should not be related to the issues that I was referring to. In fact, I fixed most of them last night, and early this morning.

Does you BT client indicate if you had any hash fails? As well, some BT clients allocate the space for the file before they download it... so perhaps that is what is giving you the higher completion rate, and then you experience a hash fail, which drops you back to the lower completion percentage.

Perhaps that is my problem. Thanks.
