Question "refused" at 99% of download - what's going on?

hi all,

have to ask this. i regulary get "refused" after 99% of large files have been downloaded. seems to happen especially on fast downloads - the thing everyone is looking for i suppose. what is this?

are these all some "sick" guys, who abort the download after it has almost finished - just for fun? or why the hell do they do so, is there any reason for this? i don't get it! if someone shares at all, why would he do so? maybe something like "didn't upload it completely so they cannot take me to court" or something? can anyone imagine some other reasons for this? i mean these persons have to sit in front of their monitors all the time to see when to abort ...

just trying to understand this behaviour. thanx for your ideas on this!
