BitComet Torrents stopped at 99.5%, then started going dramatically slower?

Question

I was downloading a torrent, consisting of 23 episodes of a show. The first two were at 99.5%, ahead of all the rest because I set them to High Priority. To isolate these and be able to watch them as soon as possible, I temporarily disabled the rest of the episodes.

The first 3 were at 99.5%, and while the torrent was going at about 150kb/sec, they never moved from there. I disabled the whole torrent, performed a Manual Hash Check, then enabled it again. It seemed to work, the first episode finally finished, but now the torrent is going at an average of 5 kb/sec, and I don't know why.

Can anyone help?

Answer 1

pff you can`t stop it from now.you don`t have very much seeders so you can stop it from now because there is no change to get to 100 %.

Answer 2

that just means that the part you need is rare amoung those that are seeding and wont get much quicker.

Answer 3

The remaining portions of the file is probably held by someone that is allowing you to only download from at a low speed so that it isn't hogging up their bandwidth (or download speed)

Answer 4

YIKES who is your ISP.

I download 5gb in 2.5 hours. I love my BBC shows.

The torrents run at 55Mbps.  So I do not take 2 days --48 hours--downloading video.
