Annoying prob with file sharing

Has anyone has this prob with Shareaza? A lot of times when I'm downloading files of more that 1GB, the download will reach 80% and then stop - where it had roughly 100 sources before and happily downloading at 20KB/s, it now has only 0 sources :confused:

Is it possible that some of those 100+ sources only had 80% of the file and now I am one of the only user who has 80% of that file and uploading it to other users. In other words, there are tons of users with 60-80%% of the file and 0 users with the remainder 20% of the file?

So basically, it's a vicious circle of users downloading the same 80% segmants of the file - users who have the full file have logged off and will never return. That 80% of file will be exchanged on file sharing forever, nobody ever getting the full file... :confused:

you might finder that lots of people are stuck at 80% as the file is a fake, try torrent spy as there is a feedback section thats lets you know who is stuck at what % and if its real or not.
 
The file is prolly a fake or corrupted, what you can do is check to see if the other people have the same bits of the file, if that is the case it is most likely a fake.
 
Balls, it's a god damn fake! 5 days of downloading for nout :mad: :p

Ah well. So I should really be using a torrent site instead so
