Is there any way to.....

Hi,

I use µtorrent on dial up connection mostly.... most of the time i am dloading some specific file from one torrent meaning i don't dload all of the files which are in the torrent, only the selected ones...

Some torrent have bigger pieces ranging from 1 MB to MB... which gives me a lot of hash fails... but when i try to dload torrents with smaller pieces ranging from 64KB to 512 KB.... i get very few hash fails and the torrent gets dloaded quickly( as in dial up quickly )

I just wanted to ask if the is any option/way in µ Torrent to resize the piece of any given torrent to a lesser number... lets say a 4MB piece to 256 KB piece ?

If not then i Would like to see this feature in future µTorrent releases.

No, it can't and won't happen, as it's absolutely impossible to do so within the framework of the BitTorrent protocol itself.

So how can i prevent from my buffered data getting lost? ... when i know the torrent isn't poisoned or there are no bad IPs because and I have only encountered this problem with large pieced torrents (from 1 to4 MB piece).

and specially it gets very annoying when there is sudden electricity outage (power failure).

There is no correlation between piece size and hashfails. It's just a coincidence that you see such a pattern.

I'm not seeing what this has to do with "buffered data getting lost," or how it relates to power outages...

[faisal.qureshi]

I count blue colored Data in a dloading as "written to disk" data and green colored data as " not yet written to disk" data..... becuase when there is a power outage or PC gets improperly shutdown... the blue colored data remains there but green colored data vanishes.... and dload %age also drops.

and more loose has been observed with large pieced torrents... So??

Pardon me for being illiterate at this

Hashfails have no correlation with piece size.

And cached data is lost with ANY program that uses caching. Don't shut your PC down improperly. If there's a lot of power outages, buy a UPS. There's no way around this.
