I'm downloading a large torrent. I'm up to 99.85%, but have been stuck here for about two days, since it seems no seeders have the remaining 0.15%. Is there any software I can download from somewhere to repair the .dmg and get it to mount?

If an app like that even existed it would probably cost more than the program you're trying (and failing) to pirate.

Thanks kick52, I figured that, but I didn't know if there was something that would kind of fill in the last few gaps, so I thought I'd ask anyway.

Hi I'm Ben, I think it sucks that you automatically jump to the conclusion of piracy. There are a lot of open source apps (as I'm sure you're aware) that are better available from other people than from any website.

Yes but open source apps have permanent seeders and won't stop downloading at 98.8%

True

Let us know what the dmg is and maybe we someone can seed it for you
I free'd my mind... now it won't come back.
