Last piece - corrupted

[SinsI]

Happened many times to me, with different files on different trackers: after "successful" download, i do the "re-check" - and the last downloaded piece of downloaded file is broken, its CRC doesn't match.

I first saw this happening with the latest 1.6(474) version.

Downloading onto another hard disk didn't help, so it's not a bad sector.

Deleting the Application Data\uTorrent directory and re-adding the torrent(continuing the download) didn't help.

During the download it did say PIECE 531 FAILED HASH CHECK

Deleting the downloaded data and re-starting torrent worked.

It seems if the corrupted piece is downloaded in the finishing mode, uTorrent fails to correctly do its job and produces a bad result. The worst thing, however, is that it creates one more corrupted seed, thus multiplying the problem. And people usually don't do "forced re-check", so it's goes unnoticed.

Very similar to the work of a malicious virus program.

You may suspect a program bug, but uT 1.6 will also ban problematic sources.

We don't support versions prior to 1.6.

Are you using selective downloading AT ALL on these torrents?

Do you have any of the incompatible software from the FAQ on your system?

Update: it seems one of the memory modules on my PC broke and data in a small adress block became unstable. uTorrent persistently used exactly that place as a cache holder...
