Hello @zennash and sorry to hear about your woes,

Have you already tried doing a "Force Re-check" on your current torrent client?

That aside, are you already using one of the recommended torrent client programs? Such as qBittorrent, Tixati, Deluge, Transmission, etc. If not, please give one of these a try. I myself use qBittorrent. Some people are speculating that ISPs and/or even some VPN providers are tampering with these downloads, though I would still say that is a conspiracy theory. Torrents in general work for almost all people. Though there are imperfections with the technology, just as with any download type. And when problems arise from these "imperfections", people are understandably frustrated. Of course that doesn't help your case, but I don't think there's any conspiracy. If you already downloaded stuff from G4TW in the past, then you know what to expect.

Although it sounds cheesy, I can offer another idea. Take the magnet link, and if at all possible, try re-torrenting this thing from a different computer.

If you really cannot make it work at that point, there is an alternative avenue, in the form of the new system here. I'll refrain from giving more detailed instructions here, as there is already a text guide and even a video walkthrough. Plus direct download options if you want to give them a try:

I hope you don't have to resort to grabbing the new format. But at that point I'm afraid I cannot suggest anything else.
