fluffylon Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 Yes, I've read the FAQ.The problem occurs when I've got one of the .iso-files in a torrent mounted with daemon tools.The reason I consider it a bug is because I've explicitly told utorrent to SKIP that file (it's already completed). The way I see it, if I've told utorrent to skip a file then it should damn well leave that file alone and not even touch it.I should add that utorrent thinks the file in question is only 99.9% completed (it was downloaded with bitcomet), so the problem seems to stem from the fact that utorrent wants to rename the file to *.!ut. If I unmount the .iso and let utorrent rename and complete the file, I can then remount it without further errors.I'm running utorrent v1.6 stable btw.

Ultima Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 If it thinks the file is 99% complete, then this is the situation (as that implies one of the pieces belonging to the file is incomplete), and there's nothing you can do about it. It is not a bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
µtorrent-Guest Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 bittorrent (and µT) has no idea about files. so its not a bug if you are working with a file in a torrent, since µT must possibly access pieces of that file to complete other pieces for other files in that torrent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluffylon Posted December 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 First see my reply there. Then I'd like to add that utorrent also locks the files flagged as SKIP so it's impossible to delete them. I see no reason why this should be so. Yes, a piece shared with another file may need to read/write to the skipped file. If it wants to read then that should simply be impossible -- we don't have that complete piece. And if it wants to write then shouldn't the diskio.use_partfile kick in?Am I missing something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 µTorrent NEEDS the data for the piece to remain, so of course it can't allow the file to be deleted while a piece belonging to it is incomplete. The partfile is for unallocated files. If the file is already there, would you still consider that to be unallocated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
