drpiety Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 I just had two corrupted torrents in my done folder. I wonder why UT has admitted them. Now after checking them with winrar i found two parts of the rar damaged. I just thought UT is so intelligent i will just hop into the files menue and rightklick and choose redownload for those two corrupted parts. Uhm well no, there is no such option. So here comes the work you have to do for now: delete the two parts from disk go to UT again, stop the seeding torrent, force recheck, wait until finished, start the paused torrent, move it up to download.nice would be redoanlod as right context menue and immediate download of the damaged part at first position. Even better would be keep the non damaged part of the damaged part and only replace the crc failed bit (unsure if possible as UT has admited the corrupted one).

Firon Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 If the files were corrupted after it finished, you have a problem that isn't µTorrent's fault.However, you can stop the torrent, and hit Force Re-check to check the file and remove any parts that don't match the hash. It has to re-check all the files/pieces to determine what is corrupted and what is not, this is the same for all other clients. You can't just tell it to recheck and re-download a certain file, it's just not something you can do.If the file passes the re-check, it means the original files in the torrent were corrupted, and that is the uploader's fault.

drpiety Posted November 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 K thanks. I am downloading to an external drive over USB 2.0 right now and i guess XP has some problems with it. Still i wonder why UT did not check when finished or while downloading the parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 It probably did check after downloading, but I'm gonna assume it's most likely checking the piece while it's still in the cache (as in, not written to the USB drive yet). It had to have gotten corrupted when it got written to the disk.There's no check after finishing, you have to do it manually (since it's not necessary most of the time) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drpiety Posted November 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 I was seeding the files for quite a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 Once it's finished with the torrent, it assumes that everything went fine (other clients do the same), and seeds it. It doesn't try to check the files in seeding mode, so bad data can be sent out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
