Didn't know how to search this in the technical threads, but I'm having trouble finishing downloads even though each of them has multiple seeders present. Some info:

1) using BiglyBT 2.4
2) I'm not Firewalled
3) I have a really healthy share ratio and always keep torrents seeding

This was part of a batch download of the Beatles Anthology Director's Cut (5 separate DVD torrents. I'm completed 3 of the 5 but the last two have been dormant for the past few days despite having seeders available in each. Did I download too much at a time and reached a limit? If so, how long do I wait before it can start again?

Forgive my ignorance as I've never run into this problem before. Many thanks in advance!

only thing I could suggest is delete the torrent from your client, shut down client and restart the torrent fresh with the partial data you have so far

I did try that a few times and still nothing. So strange.

Have you tried a different torrent client? Maybe something got lost with the current one you are using.

Haven't tried that. What do you recommend that works on Mac Catalina OSX?

UPDATE: Went and tried Deluge (recommended here on TTD) and it did the trick! I don't know what happened in Bigly but i'm glad it finally worked.

Thanks!
