smurftech Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 Hi,Just thought i'd pass this problem by everyone.Sometimes, (especially on larger files), I am getting corrupted rar's and files after they have finished downloading.I reload em into utorrent and force a re-check and they are around 99% finished and need to re-download a few more pieces.I thought utorrent automatically re-downloaded failed hash check pieces?Anyway, it's happening about 50% of the time.There is the occasional fail hash check message in the log - 2 or 3 per day.It's no biggy, I just force a re-check on everything that has finished downloading (anyway of this being automatic)?It's weird because, it never happened on my Dual Core system (Opteron 175, A8N Premium, 1GB RAM, 400GB HDD's) which has recently died I'm now using an old backup P.C while I rebuild the opty - 1.4GHz Athlon with 512MB RAM, only 20GB HDD, same router as before, maybe this hardware is just too old / knackered? I only have 1Mbit download which shouldn't overload this old setup!I am begging to think the RAM/HDD are just too old and probably on their last legs!Any suggestions?P.S. Respect for this fine program - used it for about 2 years now, it should win an award or something! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 Either the RAM or the IDE controller/cable can cause this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smurftech Posted July 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 OK, makes sense, I will change the IDE cable and run some memtests!ThanksUPDATE: Changing the IDE cable fixed this problem 100%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
