A while back I purchased Band of Brothers on BluRay. I let a friend borrow it, his son literally destroyed the disc 1. When I say destroyed, I mean destroyed. It was in several pieces.
So, I went surfing the net and found a torrent for the 1080p version, started the download which is like 45GB, left it running while I went to work.
I get home, to find the torrent is sitting at 96.3% and there is an error message in my system tray:
ERROR: Semaphore timeout period has expired. The torrent cannot be downloaded.
I clicked resume, the transfer started up again, and stopped about a minute later:
ERROR: Semaphore timeout period has expired. The torrent cannot be downloaded.
Rinse, repeat, about 15 times.
Then, things get fun. Now, I get random freezes, for 5 - 10 seconds. It's like my CPU is trying to catch it's breath, so everything freezes, my mouse, keyboard, everything. Then, it just goes back to normal.
Naturally I freaked out.
I searched and scoured looking for resolutions to this problem.
So far i have:
Restored to an earlier system restore point.
Flashed my BIOS
Installed new Video, Ethernet, and Sound Drivers for the hell of it.
Flashed my Hard Drives.
Ran a Memory stress test.
Did a full system scan including the files I was downloading.
Did a full system stress test to check for any failing devices.
Reset my modem about umpteen thousand times.
Nothing.
No errors, no failing devices, all drivers up to date and functioning normally.
Now I should mention, my PC only freezes when I'm trying to finish this stupid torrent, which is now at 98.7%, and I don't want to start over. When it freezes, I get the error message again, and have to resume the torrent. It has frozen about 35 times in the time it has taken me to type this.
Any help would be appreciated, since I don't even know what a semaphore is in the first place.
