Don't edge me bro [Rule]
(slrpnk.net)
You think that's bad, I've had these for 9 months
At this point, couldn't you just use the data you already downloaded and use error correction to fill in the rest ?
I have no knowledge of that, but as the movies left in stasis total about 0.5% of the movies in my library I'm okay leaving it or finding a substitute. I also only use torrents, no idea about the Usenet atm
Isn't that more of an .NZB thing, with the way it uses RAID parity?
I have no knowledge about implementation... ^_^; so... Maybe ? I was more so refering to the nature of data being transmitted over the internet. Because it has to be somewhat error proof, if you are only missing a fraction of the data, i expected that there would be a way to complete the missing message ?
You're right but as far as I'm aware, that must be baked in beforehand with parity files/blocks.
I'm only aware of a few things that do this, .NZB files used in Usenet downloads being the main thing (and of course RAID arrays).
Bound to be more though, anyone?
My first thought too
I'm assuming you've checked and it's not any .txt or sample files that are missing? If so then you can uncheck them and it'll be 100% finished in your client. Whatever tracker would still consider you partial seeding or leaching though
The worst is when it’s one big archive and your can’t un archive it until it’s fully downloaded. Fuck off with your weird zip files, give me a normal mkv that I can start playing almost immediately.
I hadn't, but thanks for the tip! As it turns out, in all of them the movie file is 99.9%, and in all but one everything else is 100.
I don't have the cleanest indexers and haven't tried to join private tracker groups, maybe that'd help, but I figured private groups trade in high quality files. I chose quantity and my movies are 99% YIFY/whatever is repackaged as YIFY nowadays
Man, I had Daimajin frozen in the 40% range for months. I tried multiple torrents and nothing. I got both sequels just fine. It was part of my motivation for finally setting up SABnzbd
I've literally bought blurays or DVDs in the past just to rip them myself because I couldn't find a torrent that would finish.
Almost did it last week in fact when I had one stuck at 18% for a week and change, the day I found the bluray and put it in my shopping cart with a 9pm deadline was when it picked back up and finished. I was happy because the bluray was like $70USD before taxes and shipping.

Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).

Moderator Guidelines
Moderator Guidelines
- Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
- Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
- When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
- Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
- Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
- Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
- Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
- Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
- Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
- Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
- Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
- Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
- First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
- Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
- No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
- Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
- Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.
