Either there are no Seeds or nobody is uploading.

I seem to be uploading, and there appears to be people seeding aswell. Anyone?

Yah, same thing happened with another file just a few minutes ago, at 98%. I just decided to put it off and download it some other time. It wasn't particularly vital anyway. It's possible that the program is in error and there are, in fact, no seeds available. Either wait a while or go the the animejunkies channel and beg someone to reseed it for you. If it's at 99.7%, it shouldn't be a problem.

It's an algorithm in bittorrent that if you don't upload enough, you won't get any d/ls. I guess what happens is that the total amount you uploaded wasn't enough so if the situation of having only seeds on the torrent arises, you won't get any segments from them.

i don't think that's the reason, but in the first place, it's not a big problem if it only occur once. i had the problem b4 and i think it's due to the connection on my side cos the dl rate suddenly drop during peak hour and half the peers disappear. it's nothing serious. u can either leave the BT on for a while or cancel the dl and wait for a while be resuming.
