Thread: Why does my reseed check always stop at 99.9%?

I would say most of the time it does not say that 100% of it is there even though it is the same file I had downloaded from that site.



Basically I downloaded this original file and then I seeded it for a while. I removed the torrent from the seed box as well as the file. I re-upload the exact file a bit later for a reseed and upon a force recheck it always says 99.9%. Somehow a few KB to 1MB just disappeared out of nowhere.

I know you say you have checked, but even if the nfo is different this fault will occur. The same scene releases can quite often have different nfo's, or contain information related to the tracker you downloaded from.

Have a check again, if not post back and we can think of some further reasons.

I downloaded this file from the same tracker that I am uploading it to. It is not a cross seed. It is indeed the identical file as far as I am concerned. It has happened to me multiple times. When it is a different tracker I was aware there could be a difference but when it's the same one it has me a little confused.

It happened to me too! I couldn't find the problem, but all I had to do was to:
1. stop he *.torrent download (or check)
2. right click on it and select Force Recheck
3. when finished recheck click on start button!

It worked for me. Hope this help!

Exactly! I found no other way!

I've searched on utorrent forum and found this:
"Many media player programs have a media indexer in them and even modify a file's MP3 tag...thus "corrupting" the last piece of that file as far as utorrent is concerned."

Maybe somehow files are being altered! Couldn't this be the problem?

That is exactly what it is. The thing is I just transferred the file from the seedbox and to the computer. When I unarchive files I do that to another directory so the folders and files are untouched. It does not happen with every file, but it happens with the majority and I do nothing different from those it happens to to those that it doesn't happen to. I am just completely clueless as to what is going on. Thanks for all the suggestions and ideas so far.

Maybe it has something to do with the type of transfer that you use when you upload it back to the server? A misconfigured client perhaps? or maybe it's just the client itself? Try using a different client, or a different protocol such as SFTP.
