[quote]What happens when the videos it finds are in Rar format?[/quote]

It either unrars them or can’t.

[quote]Or the torrent is stuck at 97% because there are no seeders?[/quote]

The same thing happens as to anyone who downloads torrents – it doesn’t complete. Simple.

To me, a box like this seems aimed at people who aren’t well versed in the use of things like BitTorrent. I mean, it’s a box that you plug in and it lets you download TV shows and movies, then play them on a TV. Anyone who is knowledgable about BT will already be using a computer to download this stuff.

When a novice buys something like this, they expect it to work. Judging by my own experiences with BT, I’d expect this to have about a 50% success rate, if that.
