Topic: etree Seeding Question

[stevetoney]

I seeded a show over a year ago.  I've long since have deleted it from my harddrive, but I keep my FLACs backed up onto DVD.  I recently had someone ask me to reseed the show.  This show has been dead for a loooong time, but it was recently resurrected and this one seeder is hanging on. 

So I reloaded the files onto my harddrive and did a file integrity check and they all checked out fine against the original torrented files. 

But when I try to seed the torrent, it will only go to 99.9% complete.  I'm thinking that the difference between what I have and the original torrent is that I might have changed the text file from the original in order to add/correct track names.

Any ideas on how I might be able to seed this now, or do I need to reseed it from scratch because of the changed text file?

Thanks!

You can try emailing any of the folks on db.etree that show having your source and see if they can email you the original txt..................

no harm in seeding from scratch... especially if your 99.9% problem is cause you have fixed the txt file since the original upload.

Seed from scratch, or e-mail them them your new *.txt file after they reach 99.9% downloaded, if your *.txt is definitely the file preventing 100% verification.

This won't work.  The piece that contains the .txt file likely also contains part of a FLAC file and therefore one FLAC will be incomplete.

I've had the same thing happen at other trackers.  Nothing changed at all since seeding, show still in the same place on the HD.

The dreaded 99.9% problem.

There is a FAQ on the Dime site for this.

My experience is that  I would make a new torrent and upload a new torrent file. 

Otherwise you have to find out what in the devil has changed in the folder you were seeding, an impossibility.  Or do a snail mail trade to the guy and have him upload it.
