So a file I was needing is showing as 9 seeds, 5 peers, but its stalled.

Why is that? And what does it mean for me other than I can’t grab it. Is there something I can do on my end, or is it on the other side of things?

I’ve just cut the cord, so if these questions are basic, I apologize, I am just now learning a lot of this stuff

    the progress meter on File 1 is growing, so yes, but file 2 it shows the status change, and the down speed will max out at 304 B/s, then slowly taper off until it stalls, and then it spikes back up again.

    I wish there was a YTS server but for TV shows, it would make this easier

      How big is the spike? If it’s in hundreds of KB, yeah, chances are it really is downloading something. If it’s in bytes, it’s probably dead, those are just sync packets most probably.

      YTS 🤨?
