taotoon Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 I don't have a job. I have many time. Let's me click Stop, Right click and Force Re-check. I love to click them many times. nothing to do in life. Greate feature! please don't add auto hash check. eventhought the options it waste your time to implyment.

Firon Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 This won't be changed. Anyway, it only does it when you actually start the torrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddict Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 why won't that be changed? seems to be an easy (optional) option.my virus-scanner (Symantec AV Corporate 10.1.6.6000) saw, wrongfully, one of the downloaded rar parts as an Bloodhound.Exploit.158 virus. the download was at 70% at that time.therefor my download wasn't valid anymore at the end, but utorrent didn't mention anything about it.ofcourse i got an crc error while unpacking, but a auto re-check could have prevented this.or not?regards, Eddict Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Alderaan Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 Nope auto re-check would NOT have prevented this.Because µtorrent hash-checks every piece as soon as it has it complete. Doing a full hash-check afterwards is double work. If the torrent seems damaged afterwards that means a program edited the file(s) AFTER they were written to disk. If a packet is damaged between the sender and µtorrent it will report a 'piece failed hash-check' or something in the logger and re-download it.If there is a program editing files while u are still downloading u should disable this program (while running µtorrent). The program in question could (and probably will) also edit the files after you have completed the torrent in µtorrent so hash-checking on Completion won't help. Hash-checking a download once it's finished 'might' indicate there is a problem but it won't solve it and if u are suspicious you can always force a hash-check. Making it default is a waste of time, CPU and other PC resources for the 99,999% of the people who do not suffer from these problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 That, or it could also be hardware damage (RAM, cable, or hard drive). Also out of µTorrent's control, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddict Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 hi Lord Alderaan, that sounds like a pretty fair explanation!but making it default isn't what i asked, just make it optional, so you have the choice.turn this (advanced) option off by default, but if turned on do a recheck afterwards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taotoon Posted August 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 I asked my friends, most of them have problem with hash check fail.I understand we are just 0.0001% disk corrupt, HD controller, write cache..old computer.I agree with Eddict to offer an option.

Switeck Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 taotoon said: "I understand we are just 0.0001% disk corrupt, HD controller, write cache..old computer."It is precisely for those reasons that auto hash check exists. Sending out corrupt pieces (even if corrupt by only 1 bit out of 4 MegaBYTES) costs downloaders extra bandwidth...and cost other seeders more upload bandwidth as well -- and even some download bandwidth.
