Has anyone ever experienced a torrent actually LOSING progress?

I've been trying to download a file that has 0 seeds for the last few days, so it's been crawling.

It's been making progress because there's like 16 peers, so i've been getting it bit by bit, but i noticed that earlier today it was at 99.8% complete, and then when i came home from running some errands and stopping by my folks place, it was back down to 99.3%??????????

Not really sure what's going on here, sorta frustrating, considering it's going between 0 and 3kBps.........

Just curious if anyone knows what might cause that to happen.... I've never noticed it before.

probably did a hash check and there were a couple missing pieces.

i don't know, but if it's downloading slow, make sure your upload speed is unlimited. i was being selfish and had my upload speed at 1kbps then i realized that your download speed is proportionate to your upload speed lol //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

that's not the problem, it's going 18kBps up, and .3kBps down //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

maybe one of the seeders has a corrupt file or something... what a bummer
