files that i've uploaded degrade when checked,

[richie101]

hello,

this has happened to me 3 times now. an uploaded torrent seeds away grand, then i stop seeding when i need the bandwidth. when i go to reseed my up because seeders are running low

the re-check says that loads of data is missing, up to 50% !!?

now, i've checked those files personally myself through use by other programs and they are all there.

so what's going on??

any help appreciated.

cheers all

Hard disk damage?

Ram failure?

What type of files?

If they're media files are you using Windows Media Player?

[richie101]

no, no damage.

as i said, the files play perfectly through itunes or mediaplayer. files are mp3.

problem appears to be utorrent, but i don't understand where the error could've crept in

If the files are MP3, Windows Media Player may be re-tagging the files, causing them to become changed as far as the torrent is concerned.

Not a uT problem.

rarely use mediaplayer. and haven't had any dealings with these files since uploading til error so i don't think that's it. also, according to the recheck, 1 whole album has disappeared, as in 0%'s on all 15 tracks. surely not a tagging issue

If the tags change even 1 byte, they corrupt the entire piece, as well as pieces that span to other files (especially true if the tag size after re-tagging is different).

The files may play fine, but whatever re-tagged the files effectively corrupted them as far as the torrent is concerned.
