Invy Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 All right if this sounds a bit off it's because I copied and pasted this from another forum that I tend to frequent. I didn't feel like completely explaining this again. Anyway..I re-downloaded a particular torrent to hop back on to seed because there were a couple of downloaders on a tracker I frequent.I loaded the torrent up in utorrent and proceeded to hashcheck the file:Awww crap 99.9%!? But why? :psyduck:Apparently, i'm missing approximately 0.2 MB of the very last part, as well as the NFO and SFV. [screenshot removed]I can open the NFO file just fine even though utorrent claims I have 0.0% of it.Even the SFV file is completed and I can run it. Quickpar sure thinks it's complete.http://img53.imageshack.us/img53/3309/726200691337ameh6.pngI test-extracted it with Winrar and everything went A-OKAY.I even extracted the image file out of it without a problem.So what gives? Why is utorrent telling me I only have 99.9% of the file with only 175kb remaining? Is it a bug with utorrent? Or something else?EDIT by silverfire: Image >50KB changed to link. Please read the forum content rules before posting.^Sorry about that I didn't realize it was that huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 Something else.If you open .sfv, .nfo or other files with notepad, you run the risk of changing the line break characters from their torrent-stored format (probably unix style) to windows style, effectively causing corruption in that piece.

Invy Posted July 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 I didn't open them with notepad. I opened the SFV with Quickpar and the NFO with Damn NFO Viewer...By the way, I just loaded the torrent up in Azureus, as a test, and it seems to see the torrent as 100% as opposed to only 99.9% in uTorrent... this is odd.

DreadWingKnight Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 Stop and force a second re-check.It could be system damage like ram corruption or some other oddity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 Well, it hash checks the entire piece and marks it as incomplete, so either the nfo or the sfv are different from what it expects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invy Posted July 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 Hmm... I still don't get it.I came here and was expecting that this was a common problem and there would be a simple solution but that is not the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
