What's even worse is when a torrent is stalled at around 94%, there's exactly one seeder with a full copy in the peer list, but he has fucked up networking rules (or an intentionally choked upload because he's a dirty leecher) so that despite having an open connection in the peer list, they never send any data...

This seems to happen alot. I always wondered if it is really a peer or some weird spoofed peer that just tries to give you hope before crushing your dreams.

Most likely it's someone who has a VPN that doesn't support P2P upload or has their config messed up.
