                  Interesting... so find a list of "known good trackers" and update the tracker list for the torrent. That often gets things moving again.

                  Sometimes if there are very few seeds (1 or 2, or even 0) it can takes weeks, it's true. But someone I know who does this a lot told me that most of his torrents complete in under an hour or two, occasionally a day or two. He did have one recently that took several weeks (there was one seed who popped up every now and again) but even that one completed successfully.

                  Out of interest, which TV series were you having trouble with?

                    Yes done that. Doesn't seem to help very much.

                    On the occasions I've tried to get something that's just been broadcast it takes no time at all. Bit harder for anything that's not been around for a while.

                    Not sure I want to say. Okay then, it's Bunheads.

                      They're on Youtube but in a stupid frame; could rip them with 4K Downloader and crop them?
