Let's .. 99.9% is the new 100%

Able to identify the missing piece?

So instead of the 1%, it's now the .1% :p

Alternately, it is most likely Angrypig's and Cameni's Ultra-Secret Base-of-Operations to herd the rest of us like sheep, and wipe us out if we get too aggressive in Anteworld.

Angrypig: Brano, Zeos is trying to take over the world again.  He just hit Shawn's outer defenses.
Cameni: Laco, to the desert with Zeos.  Nuke him.
Angrypig: Was hoping you'd say that, but Shawn is also getting territorial, and just took out 2 small settlements that new users just purchased.
Cameni: To the desert with Shawn too, then.

ZeosPantera: WTF?!?
Cshawnsmith: /tells ZeosPantera Remember that thread so many years ago about that .1% data download?
ZeosPantera: /r Yeah?
Cshawnsmith: /tells ZeosPantera Yeah, there's your .1% right there.

I'm at 81.7% but outerra.com disconnects sometimes or I only get ~200KB/s.
Download now if you want. I seed with up to 700KB/s.

[ZeosPantera]

Instead of war I think I will just put random 1's and 0's into a text file and rearrange until all the missing bits form.

I'm now at 99.9% too ... here is a pic of the data I don't get ...

[cameni]

Hmm, why is the earth.torrent embedded in there ...

[Oldtown]

It wasn't me 

[cameni]

I know
It embedded itself to the torrent, because I told it to save the torrent in the same dir that was being added. Http seed doesn't serve such file so the chunk can't be completed.

But now the problem is that the torrent file isn't the same as the torrent maker thought it was when packing it there ... since it had to write the checksums, thereby changing it
Now what.

[PRiME]

26k/sec.  Brutally slow, will take almost 3 weeks to get

[C. Shawn Smith]

I still stand by the premise that Angrypig and Cameni are the 1% (er, .1%) in this instance.

When you finally download that final percent, a popup will read:

"Beware all ye who enter here.  There be dragons (or angry pigs)."

[ZeosPantera]

Well if you can figure out what the 99% we got is.. You can just serve the 1% that is remaining.

Well if you can figure out what the 99% we got is.. You can just server the 1% that is remaining or more likely the entire file that failed.

Maybe we should compare our missing files? Take a look at my screenshot.

I'm now at 99.9% too ... here is a pic of the data I don't get ...

I guess if you put them in name order it will be easier for cameni to find and upload them. Once you and I have them and put them in the torrent directory we can stop and restart the torrent and it should go to 100% and seed to the rest of the bunch.

BTW.. I am pretty sure you could just use what you have downloaded and you would just be missing 1% of the world pre-loaded.

PS>.. I am assuming I can't go into the data.cfg and change path = "C:\Anteworld" to path = "S:\00 INCOMPLETE\earth" (where the incomplete torrent currently resides on my networked torrent machine) since there is no "DATA" directory in the torrent's creation path. I would need to stop the download and put the earth folder in a data folder for this to work?

[Oldtown]

Here is a logical sort of my missing files

earth.torrent

[cameni]

It's the earth.torrent that's causing it. Dumb torrent creator inserted itself into the torrent, and then it modified the torrent file with the final checksums. That means I can't just put the earth.torrent on the server so you can get it, because it would be a different earth.torrent that the one that was originally put into the torrent file, and the chunk download would fail anyway.
