Missing Pieces

Recommended Posts

Whenever I download torrents, it is random ones, When it is done it says it is 100% done, the files are all shown to be completed. But then I go to open the files usually with WINRAR and it says the file is corrupted. When I Force a Re-check it finds that a missing piece (at random points) and then re downloads the piece. This doesnt happen on every torrent, but randomly. I have saved torrents on different drives and this still is happening any ideas?

Thanks

Hi there... I am having the same problem.

I didn't realize I had to force a re-check after each torrent was done (BitLord does it automatically, for example. After a 100% download ("options") but I use BitLord only for foreign torrents, uTorrent for local ones). Imagine my surprise / alarm / disappointment when 163 (of 250 downloaded torrents) that had been at 100% before I forced a re-check were all at around 99.8%

Unfortunately now many of these are not being seeded anymore (dead) so I am stuck with a load of incomplete torrents with !ut suffixes! What a shock!

ps. I did rename (remove the !UT) on a few AVI files, and they did play, but some didn't finsih. Arg!

I 've downloaded a supposed 213 mb file of mp3s which show as completed, yet on checking, most of the mp3s are 0 bytes and the file is only a total of 34 mbs.

Why say it's complete when it isn't?

The file is also seeded and other people are uploading it so it looks like they are going to be disappointed too.

S'ok. I've found out what happened. I set up utorrent to put everything in my Downloads folder on the Desktop but, for some strange reason, it seems to have created another downloads folder in My Documents (I'm sure it wasn't there before). It has put the incomplete download in the Desktop one and a complete download in the My Documents one.

I'm not going to try to figure that one out but all's well that ends well.
