PhilA Posted December 8, 2006 Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 You mustn't mention titles here due to possible copyright concerns. The hash check fail means that the piece was rejected for being inexact, so you lose that data, but it's better than having and sharing corrupted files.It happens when people change the data in the torrent and then share it with others. This is usually deliberate, sometimes unintentional. It seems to happen most with torrents using big pieces, and torrents which have been around for a long time.Try to get newer files which don't have large numbers of seeders. If it happens constantly in a file it may be a fake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatech Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 My problem is that every file that I download in all segments shows "Failed Hash Check" every 20 sec... Ever... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 Then let uT ban the repeat offenders on its own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

µtorrent-Guest Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 DWK means you should let µT handle that problem on it's own.(µT bans "repeat offenders" after 5 hashfails)Or look for other legal torrents where those morons don't seed bad data.Or check if your network equipment is the cause that mangles the packets. Download one of the testtorrents mentioned in the forums. If massive hashfails happen there too, then it is your equippment to blame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
