I'm trying to download an MP4 file, but it's stuck at 99.x%. I've done everything I can think of, including forcing a re-check, setting the priority to max, copying it to a different folder, and even opening it with VLC. I even deleted and re-added the torrent file, but nothing seems to work. It's a large movie and I just want to watch it!

Have you checked the availability of the torrent? Sometimes, if nobody's online with that last piece, it can get stuck like that, especially if it’s close to 100% but still isn’t playable. Let me know what the availability status is!
For some video files, you don't need the full 100% to actually play them. Have you tried playing the file despite it being incomplete? Sometimes it works!
I tried playing it on Windows Media Player and VLC, but both show that the file can’t be played.
It could be that you have some software that modifies the metadata of your files or that it’s a fake torrent. This is more common with public trackers, but if you’re sure the site is legit, that might not be it.
I don’t have any software like that, and I trust the site—it’s a credible one.
It's showing 99.4% but the file is still not playable.
