Downloading along with hash checking


Killed365

Recommended Posts

I was downloading a few large files within a single torrent with utorrent, when my laptop had to be restarted many times due to a hardware driver updates and every time it hash checked the torrent data and it downloaded a small size after the hash checking was completed and had to be restarted for another hardware driver update, I was frustrated with the wait time since it hash checked the whole torrent data once again when my laptop had to be restarted, so why not start the download immediately after a single piece has been found missing in that torrent data even when it is hash checking. It will save a lots of time.

 

Please provide a separate sub-option in the preference dialogue box to set it as default or not(parallel downloading when hash checking) and as well as in the right click shortcut menu from the torrents list inside utorrent client with hash checking with parallel downloading and without parallel downloading... and would be better if the overall downloading happens independent of the hash checking process as downloading requires very small processing power and hard disk transfer rates when compared to hash checking.

 

Thanking you in advance...

Why you don't close uTorrent when you are updating drivers? Or when you are asked for restart, check "later", manually close uTorrent and then restart PC.

Manual opening / closing is more safer instead of do it automatically when windows starts / shutting down.

 

uTorrent is not able to continue downloading until the torrent content isn't hash checked. uTorrent don't know, which data already has and which have to download.

Another torrent jobs without hash check problem are downloading or seeding simultaneously.

Only jobs with hash check are in queue.
