Please help.. Piece xxxx fails....

Post by bday »

G'day All,

TM v 1.61 (under Ubuntu 9.1 x64 Live CD)

I'm trying to download a Linux distro of 4.4GB which is 95.48% finished ...BUT.... it seems unable to progress beyond this.

It has been running continuously for 2 days now - in an effort to let it proceed!!

One error msg repeats ad infinitum ... with only a few minutes variation between the times...
"Piece 16383 which was just downloaded, fails its checksum test"

I have no way to tell if it is repeating the same (faulty) d'ld from the same peers over & over... tho' that would seem to be the obvious case.
NB: Many of the peers listed in properties, show 100% as available.

I have tried stopping TM and restarting - but the same issue just keeps on repeating... very, very frustrating!

Please, please! ...Is there *anything* I can do to get this to finish!

NB: Please also reply to my email due to the likely time difference... (we're UTC+10).

Many Thanks.
Barry
