AVI Preview messed up

Recommended Posts

A few days ago uTorrent updated to version 1.8.3 (built 15772). Since then, every video file y preview (using VLC) shows me video files y downloaded and ERASED! days before. I tryed modifying the "downloads" folder from uTorrent Preferences, but still, cant get it right.

I must be doing something wrong, dont know what it is. I'd appreciate any help.

Disable Preferences > Advanced > diskio.no_zero.

When you delete files in Windows, the only thing that happens is that the filesystem entry is removed for the file -- the bits on the drive for the "deleted" files aren't physically removed. Normally, when new files are allocated over the space that contained previously-deleted files, the space for the new files are zeroed out. This can be a slow process, and that's what diskio.no_zero seeks to speed up -- by simply not doing the potentially slow disk zeroing at all. The drawback is what you see -- old data becomes accessible again if you don't zero it out. In the end, it doesn't matter to µTorrent (as the data will eventually be overwritten anyway), which is why the option was implemented.
