Getting Errors with Mac

[amyd619]

Hi... I am pretty new at downloading off of this site. I managed to get a couple shows a few weeks ago, but now any time i try to d/l something it tells me the file size is only something like 35 kb. Which is obviously way small, and the download errors out immediately.

I've tried using BitRocket and Vuze/Azureus and the same thing happens with both.

Can anyone help me out?

Hey anyd916,

If you give us a little more info about problem we could try to help you out.

What version of OS X are you using?

What is the torrent file?

What is the exact error that you get and what bittorent program did u receive it with?

I'm having trouble as well.

I have Vuze and Tomato Torrent and am getting an error message no matter what show I download.

It says ...

Does any of that make any sense?

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for the help.

Its not you, its the torrent file. For some reason, the some of the antsmarching.org torrent files are improperly formated.

It seems that any torrent you download from the forums is getting truncated or cut off after 99 bytes, much much much smaller than a normal, properly formated .torrent file. I'm not sure if this is an intermittant problem or not.

Check out this http://www.antsmarching.org/forum/showthread.php?t=203096 (http://www.antsmarching.org/forum/showthread.php?t=203096) thread and send the antsmarching.org crew an e-mail.

Hope this helps.
