OK, this is the deal. i am looking for a film about 9/11/01 being a conspiracy and i am not able to find it using newsgroups or IRC so i decided to give BT a try as i was able to locate torrent files for AVI and MPG versions of the movie.

i am using utorrent since i do not really want to install anything. after this one use i will most likely never use it again so i am trying to keep it simple. i loaded the torrents yesterday and i have not been able to download a single byte of either file...
Its a part of the conspiracy. Expect the black helos to land on your roof some time in the middle of next Wednesday; around midnight. Shhh. Don't tell them that I tipped you off, or they will be after me, next!

well to my surprise it seems that this activity and increased ratio seems to have sparked one of my orgiinal torrents into activity. the torrent that took 2 days to reach a single percent is now sitting at 54% complete and slowly trickeling in at a few KB/s. of course it is going back out at an average of 30 to 50 KB/s but this morning i am feeling confident that this torrent might actually work after all.

peace,

so basically i want to know if there is any way to 'check' a torrent file and see if it is a good torrent or am i wasting my time even trying with these torrents?

any help would be appreciated,
