You can't until it's 100% sometimes 99% you can. Because bittorent transfer file by pieces and pieces can be pieces from the beginning of the file, end of file, somewhere in the middle, until you have all the pieces and all the pieces completes a "puzzle", you can't use it.
R2k, why the download is stuck at 99%? Looks like there are tons of people at 99%, none at 100. Thanks a lot, BTW.
You might be able to watch the game even at 99%. Try double-clicking on the file to see what happens.
You're right. It worked for me even though I'm at 99.9%. I had to close the torrent and then manually pick Windows Media Player from a list of programs to get it started, but I'm watching it right now. Thanks for the tip!
man..Im at a loss to explain it... My seed is and has been open from the beginning...adn will be until I show over 50 seeds....so all you guys wanting a seeder can rest assured that no matter what your thing is showing...there is at least one seeder out there....ME I have no explanation for why so many are stuck at 99%...Im gonna try closing mine and reopening it and see if that helps.
You might want to snub all peers except for those stuck on 99%. If that doesn't work, it might be a problem with the torrent itself. I've heard of similar problems that occured during the creation of the torrent. Remaking the torrent will usually fix that problem.
As usual, you are the man R2K. One request, can you also include stellar defensive highlights? I think you did that last season, but I jes wanna make sure you're doing it again this year. The highlights file always saves the day for me since I got problems running BT (Cablevision shuts down my line if my upload speed is more than 5kb/s for mroe than an hour.)
Ive been doing that...blocking upload to everyon but the 99%ers...and I also closed and removed the torrent from my client and reopened it for superseeding. I am still uploading data to the 99%ers...so all is not lost...if that fails..I guess I could remake the torrent and reupload it...then tell all to redownload the torrent file itself...it should not require anyone to start over from scratch...I would think it would read the data already downloaded and go from there...but Im not positive...Ive never had a problem with this method before.
