What do the download statuses mean?

Active
This download is currently in progress. If it is downloading too slowly, you could try searching the network for more sources with the Find More Sources command. If the speed does not improve it may be due to limited upload speeds of the users you are downloading from. Download speed usually increases over time.

Completed
eTomi has finished downloading this file, and has verified that it is 100% correct. It has also moved the file to your downloads folder.

Creating
eTomi is pre-allocating a file in which to store this download, to save time later.

Disk Full
eTomi has paused this download automatically because the hard disk appears to be full, or the download file cannot be written to. If you wish to continue downloading, please free some space on your hard disk and/or check to make sure the incomplete file folder is accessible, and then resume the download.

No Sources (Searching)
There are no known sources for this download, so eTomi is searching all connected P2P networks for new sources. Once sources are found, the download will start automatically. eTomi searches for sources automatically, however you can speed up the process using the Find More Sources command.
Unfortunately in many cases there may be no users online who have the file you are looking for. The only course of action here is to wait for someone to come online, or cancel it and try to find a similar file which is more widely available.

Paused
You have paused this download. If you want it to resume downloading, you can click the Resume Download command.

Pending
Pending can either mean two things:

• All your sources for your download are busy or inactive; OR
• The download is waiting for some of your other downloads to complete. Your download settings limit the number of downloads which may be active at any given time, to ensure that each download gets a good share of the available bandwidth. You can change these settings via Tools > eTomi Settings > Internet > Downloads.

Tracker Down
The BitTorrent tracker server for this download appears to be down or malfunctioning. eTomi is unable to contact it to receive a list of downloader peers.

Verifying
This download has finished, and eTomi is now checking it to ensure that it is exactly the same as the original file. If any damaged parts are found, eTomi will repair them automatically.

It says there are many sources but I'm only downloading off a few. Why is that?

To view all your sources, click on 'Filter' (in the transfer window) and select 'Show all sources' to see that status of all the sources that eTomi has found.

Why do I see a timer running on my sources?

Sources which have timers are busy sources. eTomi will retry to connect to them (when the timer runs out) to attempt getting in queue.

Is there a way to make eTomi find more sources automatically?

eTomi already does this automatically around every hour, or when it detects that download progress is 'starved'.

My download speed is high, but the progress bar isn't moving as fast. Why not?

eTomi uses what most ISPs advertise speeds in, kilobits. To change this setting, go to

Tools > eTomi Settings > General > General

By Show rates in: change bits/second to bytes/second or KB/s.

My download was transferring before, but it stopped. What's wrong?

It may be that all your sources have gone offline. If this is the case, wait a while more and if you haven't downloaded anything during your wait, find an alternate file with more sources if it exists.

Why won't it move my file to the completed folder if it's done?

If the download is not green (status isn't verified) than the file has not been verified and will not be moved to the completed files folder until verified.

Alternatively, it may very well be that the download is still missing a few bytes - 20kb, 30kb at the end - and the download really isn't finished. In this situation patience will usually pay off.

Why does eTomi re-download the file every time it finishes?

This occurs when eTomi downloads a corrupt file chunk from one of its sources. It will automatically throw out the bad bits of the file and re-download them again to ensure that the file you are downloading is exactly what you have requested. Expand your download and highlight all of your sources. Use the Forget command and the Find More Sources command after. This will most likely solve the problem if there are a sufficient amount of sources.

How can I restrict bandwidth for uploads and downloads?

You can limit your bandwidth in eTomi by going to

Tools > eTomi Settings > Internet > Uploads or Downloads

From there you set limits under bandwidth limit. Make sure you use KB for Kilobytes and Kb for Kilobits. While in Power mode you can use the bandwidth bar to adjust incoming/outcoming bandwidth with your mouse.

What does the green strip on the progress bar mean while downloading?

The green strip is part of Tiger Tree Hashing (TTH), meaning you are contacting sources of the file to check if you've downloaded an exact copy. It will not always appear if your sources are older clients or don't provide TTH. Along with TTH is SHA1 hashing, which will check the hash locally and if it does not match, it will appear in red as unverified. Unverified downloads don't occur as often as before with the addition of TTH.

What do the different colors on the progress bar mean?

Colors represent the file parts downloaded off a different sources. For example, if you were downloading off two sources, you would see two different colors.

How does the upload progress bar work?

White area is the amount of data that the downloader is requesting, which is not necessarily what is left to download, after the part is downloaded, the downloader will request another part. The gray part of the bar is what hasn't been requested by the downloader. And the colored (usually blue) part is what has been uploaded to that person.
