I'm using BitComet to download a certain 3GB file. Now I have reached 99.7% and it is taking absolute ages to complete the download. The weird thing is that it did not stop downloading or that it can't find any seeders. To the contrary, it is claiming to be downloading at 100kB/s and it is estimating that the download will be finished in 2 minutes however it has been "faking it" like this for a good two days now (took 2 days to go from 99.6% to 99.7%). Does anyone have a clue what is happening?
 
not completely sure, but i have heard that sometimes fake copies of the "file" you are downloading are place on torrent websites, possibly by the MPAA or other organizations to discourage attempts to download pirated versions of this "file"... no need to worry. although it's a big bummer that you're download is crawling.... chances are that if the file actually finished, you would be left with a no video, or corrupted audio or malfunctioning software or something. baiscally even if the file finished downloading it is unlikely it would actually work. maybe search around for a similar copy. try using www.btjunkie.org to locate torrents. hope this helps...
