[WBEL-devel] Stuck BT

[Jamey Fletcher]

*GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR*

Ok, I restarted the client a half-hour or so ago - so hopefully it'll 
finish up - in part to bump up the maximum transfer rate from here.

This is one of the potential problems, I think, with BitTorrent - it 
hands out its pieces randomly, so there's a possibility that even with 
more than twice the size of the file handed out by the original seed, it 
might not have handed out the *complete* file once.

I think the client should make sure *EVERY* piece it has is handed out
before starting to repeat...  There's supposed to be a tool out that 
will tell you how many complete copies not only have been handed out, 
but also how many complete copies exist as the union of some of the 
partial downloads.

This can just be *SOOOOO* much fun!

As for the wrong MD5s, I have *NO* clue!  The BitTorrent I made verifies 
against the local copy I have here, coming via NFS from the same file as 
the mirrors rsync from.
