I have 5 files i want to download. All load up to 95%, then hang "waiting for resources", "waiting for host busy" etc. Is this a bug or a feature?
Thanks. |

It's a feature. lol
only joking. Are these gnutella network files or torrent files?Busy host means their upload slots are full. Waiting for resources means it cannot find the same hosts as last time online. So best thing to do is re-search the file as you did in the first place. Then use the Get More Results by right-clicking the search tab 10 mins or so later. The idea being to find more people who are sharing the 'exact' same file.

I have done that, same result. All downloads are stuck at 95%.
Seems like it needs "something" to complete, but it is not host availability. |

Patience is a virtue then
Looks like not too many if any others have that exact same file so you may need to wait for them to come back online else for them to free up an upload slot. There's also a possibility that they are sharing a partially downloaded file & you are waiting for them to complete it from their original source.Keep in mind searches do not reach the entire network. Otherwise (a) it would take a couple hours to get all results back & (b) having that kind of search would slow the entire network down incredibly. So perhaps you cannot reach the original person with the file directly yourself at present through your connected ultrapeers, etc. |

Thanks. Thought is was a bug as i am already waiting for more than 24 hours for the xfer to complete. Will wait a few days more before "complaining" again.
