For some reason, I keep getting stuck on 99.9% when trying to outside seed files, and it's because the nfo is a few KB's different in size, even though I can't see any difference between the two when I view them. Does anyone know why this is or where I can get just nfo files?

What do you mean by outside seed files?

Are you seeding ALL the files on a different tracker?

Did you create a new torrent yourself?

What torrent client?

You can add the torrent from the other tracker that has the different NFO file to download it and then use that to seed properly.

Yeah I realise that @unclestorm, but what confused me is it's exactly the same scene NFO - same size, name etc - but it doesn't re-check it to 100% so I have to re-download it. I don't need to worry about it - it isnt a huge problem - it just seemed an some odd bug that was corrupting the download.
@BlindFury Cross seeding is just using the same file to seed at various trackers. I use rTorrent and am not adding trackers to the Announce URL (which is banned at private trackers). It's a totally separate torrent seeding in my client. Like I say, it isnt affecting me, it was just confusing me!

Thanks for the info, you didnt say cross seeding in the first post.


It is most likely due to the .torrent having a different hash/chunk size on different trackers. So the client needs to download the extra chunk.

Oops my bad. Never thought of that.. so it isnt technically the actual NFO staying at 0% thats the problem?
