gbr Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 Hi, I've just started using bit torrent and I'm using the utorrent client. My first download was OpenOffice 2.0, all 74MB of it. On completion, utorrent reported that "PIECE 166 FAILED HASH CHECK". From what ( little ) I know of bit torrent, it should be possible to redownload one ( or a selected range of pieces ). Right ? Why doesn't utorrent provide that feature ? Actually, if any pieces fail the hash check, utorrent should give the user the option to redownload those pieces. Hope I'm not talking rubbish. Bit torrent newbie, sorry. Thanks for a great program anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vurlix Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 It automatically redownloads pieces which failed the hash check. Try stopping the torrent, and doing a force-recheck. It should say that it has 100% of the file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbr Posted October 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 OOPS !!! Sorry, file seems to be OK now. I did a force recheck once again, seems to have worked. Wow. Great program. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
