Non-completing torrent seeders

[osashimi]

I've had this problem a couple times now. There's a torrent that has seeders, but no one besides those initial seeders gets beyond 99.99%. Eventually the seeders disappear and everyone else is screwed.

So what's going on here? My only guess is that it's a software setting to get leechers to stick around and help serve to everyone instead of getting to 100% and then immediately bailing. But I really don't get the point of seeding at all if you never let anyone else finish!

I've never had that problem, but regardless there's nothing we at SLF can do about it; we don't have a private tracker so we can't enforce any rules. Plus, most of the torrent here are seeded by Japanese and Chinese users. Good luck contacting them.
