It does tend to suggest this yes. I must confess I don't personally use LW for torrents but is same principle to other torrent programs.

Need to be careful about downloading old torrents. Often not many with the entire file are still seeding. Likewise I have one torrent stuck at 32% for 4 months.
Another torrent which gradually creeped up to 82% over same period with the other 60+ people waiting for the person with the 100% of file to come back online (seems to come online once a week for an hour or two .. sighs.) So all others are stuck at 82% except for the new ones that show up.

So either patience .. else delete it & find a newer torrent of same thing (or similar.)

(I retitled the thread to show this topic is about torrents.)
