Sorry, the other thing could be that the torrent is fake and has been removed by the Moderator. If it's a RAR file, I'd suspect this is the answer. What you trying to grab?

no it's torrents i was already downloading, from uknova and eztv, they are mid way through, so i don't think they are fakes...plus some were also seeding, but now the whole thing has stopped...

Sounds as if I know what I'm doing, don't it!:thumbup:
