utorrent doesn't complete my downloads

[MichaM]

Hi,

I was trying to download a torrent of several 300 MB files with utorrent

Because I already have the first 20 files I skipped them.

Now the download of the rest is complete, but utorrent doesn't write the files from "uTorrentPartFile.dat" in the final files.

This "uTorrentPartFile.dat" file is still 6 GB.

I already used "Force Re-Check" but it didn't help. Free disk space is also enough.

How can I force utorrent to write all complete files on the disk?

Thanks

Micha

If you already have files, you should RESUME using them, not skip them.

As for your issue, disable the partfile in the preferences, re-check the download, then un-skip the files.

I can't use them, because the files I already have are not exactly the same as in the torrent.

To be more precise:

I have a torrent with 40 files. The first 20 ones I don't need (I already have them in another version). So I skip them. I only want to download the last 20 ones.

How can I force utorrent now to complete these 20 files?

Did you turn on compact allocation?

[MichaM]

No.

Where do I find "compact allocation"?

Advanced section of the prefs. bt.compact_allocation
