Title: can someone reopen their window for smokin\' boomers 12/14/04
Post by: daffodil on March 13, 2005, 12:06:18 pm

i\'m trying to download this show:

 http://bt.etree.org/details.php?id=10046 (http://bt.etree.org/details.php?id=10046)

it\'s stuck at 0.0%  

i\'m new to this downloading thing, and this is the first one i\'ve tried to download from bt.etree...i successfully downloaded a couple from the archive.

does anyone know why it would be stuck at 0.0%?

thanks.

hey jill -
 
another quick response, but hey, i\'m here..

bittorrent is a peer-to-peer system, so it requires a person to be connected and uploading in order for another person to be able to download. it\'s not like archive.org, where the files are just \'on the internet\' and you can download them at any time. with BT, you\'re actually downloading straight from another person\'s computer. the more people who are connected, the faster it will go.

however, the thing with BT is that people don\'t stay connected forever. the show in question was originally put up on 12/18/04, and has since died off (you can see how many people are connected by looking at the \'Peers\' section - seeder = someone who has the full show who is connected and uploading; leecher = someone who is incomplete and downloading).

in this case, there are 0 seeders, so you will not be able to download it unless someone who has the complete show reopens their BT and seeds it for you. that\'s why you often see people posting here asking for people to reopen their windows on various shows..

i\'d help you out on this, but i don\'t have this show, so i can\'t open a window.. perhaps someone else can...?
