Default Torrent question

Can someone explain why my torrent counts down to 1 second, then jumps back to about 2 minutes remaining? It has been doing this for the last half hour or so. I have plenty of peers/seeds connected so what's the deal?

Might be a bogus torrent. Are you using Peer Guardian? Never download without it.

With that many seeds it should finish right up, though. that's what makes me think it is bogus.

Huge upload you got going on.

It has to be a fake torrent - something maybe put out by companies paid by the RIAA. I would be probably scared, right about now. They have your IP.

Well it finished up a few minutes after I started the thread. Very strange. And I do not have peer guardian.
