Trying to understand "Stalled" Status (lemmy.ml)

So a file I was needing is showing as 9 seeds, 5 peers, but its stalled.

Why is that? And what does it mean for me other than I can't grab it. Is there something I can do on my end, or is it on the other side of things?

I've just cut the cord, so if these questions are basic, I apologize, I am just now learning a lot of this stuff

I added in more trackers by finding the same file on few other servers, that seems to have resolved it for one of the files I need. But not the second one. First one should be done now in 57 minutes. The other is showing it DLing, but the ETA is infinity lol

Is it actually downloading or just saying it's downloading? Like, is the there some trafic downstream?

the progress meter on File 1 is growing, so yes, but file 2 it shows the status change, and the down speed will max out at 304 B/s, then slowly taper off until it stalls, and then it spikes back up again.

I wish there was a YTS server but for TV shows, it would make this easier

How big is the spike? If it's in hundreds of KB, yeah, chances are it really is downloading something. If it's in bytes, it's probably dead, those are just sync packets most probably.

YTS 🤨?

YTS is a new version of yify, which most people hate, but honestly for my fam, its fine.

RARBG is the go to for anything older than 1 year or so when they shut down.
