Deadman36g Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 Hello All,Please forgive is this has been answered before but I have a question involving the sizes of Torrents I download. I recently started downloading a torrent that was supposed to be 518 MB in size, but according to utorrent I have already downloaded 587 MB and it is only at 69.9% at that. Is there something I am perhaps doing wrong or something that I am not aware of?Thanks for any help, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 Are you getting a lot of wasted data and/or hashfails in the General tab? What are the seed/peer counts for the torrent? What is the availability for the torrent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadman36g Posted February 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 I will try to answer the best I can, i am new to this.Wasted: 230 MB (904 Hashfails)1 of 3 connected (120 in swarm)27 of 100 connected (19 in swarm)Sorry but I do not know what you mean by availability Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon4 Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 Availability is the lower graphical red/white/blue bar on the details page, with the number (0.xx, 1.xx, 2.xx, etc...). It means how much of the total file you can see.I've never seen so many hash fails before. I think something's up with that torrent. Unfortunately the creator of uT felt it unnecessary to add a peer-ban function in uT, so we're stuck connecting to whoever uT feels like connecting to, including "bad" peers sending bad data. So you may need to either use a blocking program like PeerGuardian, or find a new torrent... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switeck Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 You can add a blocklist to µTorrent to block the bad peers/seeds.You can even add to it 1 ip at a time if you want....That way you don't need to run a separate program such as Peer Guardian.
