    I am currently downloading a torrent that is 2.24GB and it's been downloading since yesterday morning. I hate torrents. Not only are they generally slow, but they also have flaky ETA times. It'll tell you it's going to take 6 hours to complete, then it will jump up to 2 weeks and 6 hours.

    That's a long time. Have you searched for different torrent? One with greater seeders?

    Yup, I looked. The one I'm downloading now is the only one that is actually moving (slowly.) I tried another and it just hung there until I finally canceled it.

    Aww well. A few minutes ago it said I only had 4 hours left, but it's since jumped up to 3 days. I'm at 32% complete. Maybe it will finally be done sometime tomorrow afternoon.

    I sympathize; torrents can be notoriously slow.

    It must be an old torrent that dosen't have many seeders.
