I’m currently at 93.4% but several hours before, I was at 93.6, has anyone else encountered this problem? If so, how can I fix it? I’m using 0.70 BitComet
This usually only happens if your having write errors or corrupt files on your hard drive.
I would recommend you reboot your computer, then do a manual rehash of the files.
If your system is sound, this should correct the problem, but I also recommend doing a full virus scan with a good a/v, as well as a few anti spyware scans.
Then run scandisc (full scan), or another good hard drive scanning program.
If your torrent stays at this level for a long time, and there are lots of seeders listed by your tracker, then you may have a “bad” torrent…

How do I do a manual rehash on the torrent files?
Stop the torrent, right-click on it, and select hash-check from the menu. But first be certain that wasn’t what was already happening.
When Bittorrent clients get interrupted without being shut down properly, they’ll begin hash-checking their torrents first thing when they resume, to make sure nothing was clobbered in the shutdown. A hash check is slow, and it looks an awful lot like downloading. You have to look at the status column to notice that it’s doing a hash check. It starts from zero and counts upwards, in the “% downloaded” column, as its checking the file. As said, hash checking is quite slow. So somebody may see it in mid-check, and it looks like it has downloaded less than you remember, when it simply hasn’t finished the check yet.
Just a quick question, what does Hash Checking do?
here is a link that will answer any question you can think of…

a hash check confirms that all pieces are downloaded and not corrupt.
