Ah, went to pick up an external hard drive then? You should check
the format of the hard drive to see if it is FAT32. If it is NTFS
formatted, it won't take anything larger than 4gb, and since the
torrent is 42gb, that could be your problem. Especially if it kind
of starts for a moment, and then craps out. If it is something
else, more details are needed, but again, I'm not tech support
here.

I thought if it was FAT32 formatted it wouldn't take over 4gb. I
think maybe you flip flopped those.

Its NFTS, I have no idea how to reformat it. I'll look into this.

I think NTFS is what you want. NTFS is newer than FAT32, so it
should be able to handle bigger files better. You know what, it
might be a good idea to look that up on wikipedia.

NTFS allows bigger files but we are talking about 42GB consisting
of several files.
As long as each file is less than 2GB it should work with FAT32 as
well.

Yeah, it looks like NTFS is what you use for larger files, so I'm a
bit lost as to why it won't work. Looks like I'll have to call tech
support on Monday.

Okay, I know nobody is obligated to help me, but this is the error
message I get:
[core.MultTorrent.d18e006d1fe2e019c85f0ec6d17d5fd85c0f9966 Torrent
got exception: socket.herror Traceback (most recent call last):
File "BTL\yielddefer.pyo", line 94, in _recall

File "BTL\defer.pyo", line 58 in getResult
File "twisted\python\failure.pyo", line 258, in raiseException
herror: (11001, "host not found")
So, if anyone who speaks torrent can tell me what that means, I'd
be much obliged. I'll even make you some custom caps.

I already mentioned it somewhere. Timber inserted a space character
between http:// and the host IP address in the torrent file.
I know that at least rtorrent can't cope with it.
Use your favorite hex editor to change the ' ' to '0'.

Miss Pinky, I know uTorrent is a very reliable torrent program, so
I advise trying to use that one to get the files if you aren't
already. If you try using that one and still have trouble post that
here, if I can help I will.

Thanks, Other Side. I'm using uTorrent. I was using BT, but this
just started torrenting without any problems whatsoever.
Looking at the counter right now, it says it'll be done in... 3
weeks.
D'oh.

P.S. Just wanted to say, I'm not turning my computer off until its
done, so I'll be seeding, as I hope everyone else who's getting
this is doing.

Speed is all going to be based on how many people you are connected
to and how fast everyone is sharing with everyone else. I see 23-25
peers, and connected to about 7 of them. I can't see how many other
seeds are out there though. Hopefully if the other seeds that have
left rejoins, then everyone can get it all faster.
|

Miss Pinky, you won't be able to get the whole thing before Timber
has to leave if that estimate is correct, so I recommend you set a
bunch of files you want the most to high priority, and ones you
don't care about too much to low priority. That will hopefully
reduce the number of files you have partially completed if the
torrent goes down for good before you have everything.
|
From: Miss Pinky

Its going WAY faster now. Should be done in less than a week unless
something goes wrong.

Mine suddenly stopped at 78.2 and i don't know what's wrong.

Sometimes it loses the seeds. Stop and restart, and it should pick
up again.

seed people, please

I think I'm seeding, how do I know for sure? I'm rather new/bad at
torrenting.

One is technically a "seed" when you are online and uploading after
reaching 100%. Otherwise, you are a "peer" if you haven't finished,
but upload as well as download. So long as people are uploading and
downloading with each other, and that you're connected to enough
peers that there is over 100% of the file available, you will
manage to get a full copy eventually. Connected to seeds guarantee
that you have access to 100% of the torrent.
Also, while prioritizing the files you want to download will help
insure you get those items you want, the more people connected the
better. Even though my web site will be going down in a couple of
days, that only means no new people can join the torrent because as
the location the torrent metadata file points to for initial peers,
those who are already part of the torrent and can exchange peer
information with each other will manage to continue downloading so
long as their torrent client stays up. If the client loses the
information on peers, then they'll be unable to resume the torrent.
Of course, this is a moot point until someone else out there
recompiles the torrent metadata file and acts as a host.
