pentrixter Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 I have a problem. Everything is working perfectly except this: Connected Seeds: 0 (Max Possible: 0) Health = 0% I know for sure its not a bad torrent. I looked back at isohunt, both seeders and leechers were somewhere in the 1000s. Come on, its prison break season 2. It just happened suddenly. All downloads froze where they were, not only that torrent. When I looked at the Peers tab, everyone was frozen at 98.2%, which was where I was. btw, Uploads are fine.

bitdave Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Did you maybe lose your entire internet connection? Could you browse the web when this happened? Are your torrents still not working as of now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pentrixter Posted September 18, 2006 Author Share Posted September 18, 2006 If I can upload, then my internet connection should be fine and yes I can browse. Nope, still not working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kluelos Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 You may just have a dead torrent. The number of peers reported on the various web sites was at some time in the past. Maybe the recent past, maybe long past, but the past. Your client doesn't care about the past, only who is out there now. So the first question is, are you connecting to the tracker? If it's reporting an error, you need to find and fix that. If you are connecting and scraping succesfully, then the tracker's telling you there are no seeds. This happens when a torrent is old and nobody's seeding anymore; or if there was some problem with the torrent, reported in the comments or related forum, so everybody but you knows it, and the torrent was remade and reposted to fix the problem. The current torrent would just be abandoned and most of the swarm migrated to the replacement torrent. The old one should be deleted, but poor housekeeping is rife. It can also be that there was a non-fixable problem, so there is no newer torrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_Shroud Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 That's why I like Mininova, they have auto delete scripts for dead .torrents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pentrixter Posted September 20, 2006 Author Share Posted September 20, 2006 @kluelos: Tracker Response OK, reannounce in 600s. Under the tracker tab, it shows various trackers returning peers. I have confirmed that it is not a dead torrent because the seed/peer/all are all in the 100s except for seed. Another reason why its not a dead torrent is because connected peers is 27 with the max possible in the 400s. How can it be a dead torrent if I can upload at llike 20 kB/s? @Dark_Shroud: the same torrent was present at both mininova and isohunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goody99 Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 If the seed is 0 and health is also 0, that means there is no way to go beyond 98.2% in your case until someone which has data that you need (the remaining 2.8%) connects. It happens to me quite often beacuse the shows that I download are not that popular. If I were you, I will wait... Hopefully sooner or later, someone who owns the remaining piece of data connects, or a seeder appears, you can complete your download. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
