right, but i meant the info. check stopped at 27%, not the actual torrent. so, i couldn't get all of the info. checked. it would just stop at 27% and give me an error. i clicked it again to get it restarted, but it checked the existing data till it got to 27% and gave me an error: ERROR: (01:54 AM)- IO Error: [Error 13] Permission denied.

i restarted my PC and tried it again, and the info. check completed! so, now the torrent is going, the light is green, and it seems to be working fine. maybe there was Net congestion or something on my PC, but everything seems to be ok now. thanks for your help.
