Take it as a challenge and waste inordinate amounts of time finding it 'free'!

Torrent stuck at 99.9% :/

The only seed has 99.9% availability, I am doubting anyone actually has 100%.

Yes. Only one seed, its 99.9% availability.

I can technically still listen to most of it, but the missing 0.01% triggers me for some reason.

How long has it been on 99.9%? Still a chance you just need to wait for someone to turn on their computer?

If I can’t get an audiobook specifically I usually mark it as a request in the Libby app and hope the library will purchase some licenses. Does your library offer similar services?

To answer your original question though I don’t generally buy stuff I’ve failed to torrent. I intermittently search for it again unless I forget about it though.
