    Question Just wondering something about movie files DLed with BT (Incomplete Ones)

    Hey!

    Just wondering, is it possible to unlock a movie file if I have no other seeder, and say am stuck at 99%, so that I can view the movie? Because whenever I copy the file to somewhere else and try and run it, WMP says it cannot play it, or something along those lines.

    The reason Im asking is because I have a file that is stuck at 99.5% with no seeders, but I want to watch it because I know the last .5% is just the credits. So does anyone know how to unlock an incomplete video file so it can be veiwed?

    Well.. with the way bittorrent transfers files, that last .5% might not be the credits, and I'm not sure if there is a way, although someone else might.

    bittorrent grabs parts randomly, so a partial movie is absolutely useless

    there could be dozens of missing chunks, all over the movie, rendering it almost unwatchable

    I've been able to watch partial dl'd flicks with Divx if it's an AVI file.
