Web Hosting : Weird problem, linux experts needed

Hostgator and Bluehost are our best webhosts and godaddy.com is the best domain registrar.

I have a torrent box at a provider that shall remain unnamed (but it’s possible it’s a issue with the host itself)

I have irc scripts downloading .torrent files which are being auto loaded by utorrent

On large packs typically bigger than 10-15gb (which have lots of rars) and typically are 500K to 1MB in size are being downloaded as 0 bytes or in some cases 58 bytes

utorrent deletes the torrents it loads so these 0byte torrents get left in the folder

Smaller torrents including packs like 5gb of tv or a single show torrent download just fine

I’m running debian etch with xfce4, and at some point I did an apt-get update apt-get upgrade

recently I updated my curl and wget to the latest versions

another odd thing is when I go to wget the 0 byte torrent from the torrent site it downloads just fine (at very high speed too) and isn’t 0 byte (should also mention no one else is getting 0 bytes)

I can’t figure out why a larger size .torrent would be 0 bytes while smaller ones download just fine

I’m using 3 different scripts with 2 different irc clients and all are doing the same thing

The packs are freeleech and large so it really really blows to be missing them

any suggestions leading to the solving of this issue will get a 20 euro present from me (via paypal)

thx
