Why don't some torrents completely download?

    Hello, I'm new to the forums and did not see this posted anywhere else. My question is this: How come some bit torrents I try to download don't fully complete? In case anyone has not run into this here's what I'm seeing. I will attempt to download a bit torrent. It will scream right along until it gets to a certain point and then just completely halts. Right now, for example, I am trying to download a bit torrent that ran right up to 99.3% complete in about an hour but now it's stuck there. This has happened a few times before and, no matter how long I let it run, it will never complete. Does anyone know how I can avoid this or have any suggestions?
    Thx--Lathon

    Hey, it could be that there are no seeders or you could have used all your bandwidth, check these forums for more info,

    99.3 huh sounds like you're trying to get wedding crashers :)
    dump it it's the movie people killing the filesharers
    you have to have seeds and i think there are about 200 of them but no-one is getting the last bit :)
    why not try tmd-moviez to see if it's worth getting then wait til the dvd comes out

    Thanks so much for your input. Basically I was wondering if I should dump it or not. Like I said this has happened a few times in the past as well. I hate getting all psyched up to see something downloading and then find out when it gets over 90% it stops! It's happened with at least 5-10 bit torrents I've tried to download. Well, thanks again.
