Hi all.

I've been downloading batman begins for a while now, and up to this point it has worked fine......now at 99.9% it's throwing me an error message:

This leads to a couple of questions:

1) how is this unregistered? I can find the same torrent here:

http://www.mininova.org/tor/62279

or here:

http://isohunt.com/release.php?ihq=batman+begins&id=18320

and various other places around the web. The second thing I've tried is to cancel the dowload in bittorent, then re-load the torrent from isohunt to start again.....always with the same error message.

Please help me......it's a real bitch when your download chooses to screw up at a point like this Confused

Isohunt isn't hosting the .torrent, only a link to the tracker. The tracker has removed the .torrent, which is why you can't connect.

Ok.....so how do I go about getting the rest of it then?

Also, one more question:

On the first page of this forum I have found two other users who have had downloads stop at 99.9%.....is this a regular feature of bittorent clients or something? If so I think I may just stick to programs like limewire....

Unregistered as the tracker doesnt have it anymore, as opposed to you have to resteer to use it.

I dont know why you want to go back to limewire. I mean if you want to but there are other options out there that you can use, lets look at a few of them:
ShareAzA . "Shareaza is the most luxurious and sophisticated file sharing system you'll find. It can harness the power of up to four separate peer-to-peer (P2P) networks, including EDonkey2000, Gnutella, BitTorrent and Shareaza's native network, Gnutella2 (G2)." and there is also Emule . Emule is a diffrent kind of P2P client, if you like trying new things you should try this. DC is another network that you can use. here is a list of some of the clients(i like DCDM++ . Take it use it or leave it.

Everyting with P2P isnt guaranteed, if somthig doenst work dont drop the program and go back to [limewire]. Find a diffrent torrent and download it. It might take a long time but you will get through it. good luck
