I have been trying to download a series of a tv program with bittorrent and the percentage downloaded reached 5% at one point - then it jumped back to 1.8% and now I have 1.5% downloaded. What's the go with that?! Does anyone know?

I dont have a router or a firewall I don't think. Um so what do you suggest I do in that case?

You just use a modem then? If you're at school, they might be messing with you.

possibly a failed hash, I would imagine your percentage increases as every so many bits is downloaded. Once the chunk of data your downloading is finished, the client checks the data against a hash, and if its off, throws it out and starts over. When this happens, your percentage downloaded will decrease.
(I'm not the most knowledgeable here though, so someone may correct me or have a better idea)
