How many peers are there, and what is the availability? Unless the availability is > 1, there's a chance you can't complete the download (the client might THINK It's at 100% but it can't get that tiny bit... )..

I have no idea now I just cancelled the download. I had it downloading from another source at the same time (which was going slowly at first). I just got a good down rate on it so I'm fine

Perhaps it was all there. Just people leeching it back off you :

Did you check to see if the file(s) were there ?

Ya, 2 or the 3 were "invalid" but the 2nd source finished downloading and I'm now installing OS X through CherryOS

I DONT think it is the software prob ... but sth about the seed itself

thats all the help i can offer

If you are looking for another one but really basic then get the original first one
http://www.bittorrent.com/

I just told you it's worked fine for every other torrent for over a year, and I like the program.

I hate the basic bit torrent program

FYI, this kind of problem is VERY common in many P2P programs. In fact it is the most common problem... As Hobbes suggested, the best thing to find the problem is indeed opening the torrent in another program, if it succeeds there, it IS most likely a software bug.

In fact, for all the P2P programs out there, there are tools to "fix" this common problem in buggy P2P clients...

What Segosa suggested is also true, the bigger the filesize the higher the chance that the software will say 100% while in fact it is not 100% but 99,9999%. Again, this is a minor software bug as 100% should only be displayed when totaly completed.

I figured that
FYI, when the other download completed it was at 100.3%

Thats not possible.. I think its your program that shows it that way... Maybe you should try another one for a while.. But i wouldnt mind the number... Just as long as it finishes

It's because of impropper estimation.
