lostweekend Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 First off - thanks for this great Bittorrent client - its the only one I'll now use.Upgrading to 1.3 from 1.2.2... Once 1.3 started I hit this error message on one of the torrents I've been seeding successfully for about 2 weeks! fyi all my other torrents operate correctly...On forcing a recheck the 1.3 client thinks that a number of small files are missing. If I quit 1.3 and launch 1.2.2 again I can force the recheck there and all the files are found and it goes back to seeding. If I then exit 1.2.2 and start 1.3 again it reports the error and on rechecking it goes to downloading status. Checking the disk, all files are there correctly and can be read with no errors.I can recreate the behaviour again and again for this one torrent file.Screen shot from 1.2.2: Screen shot from 1.3: Help!!

Animorc Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 Does the filenames contain unicode characters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostweekend Posted December 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 No unicode characters as far as I can see. 2 out of the 8 files have Spanish names and contain the i and a characters with accents above them. But the rest of the files have vanilla ASCII names Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 That's probably causing the problem. :/Also, make sure compact allocation is off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostweekend Posted December 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 I can confirm that compact allocation is set to false.The 2 files containing 'foreign' characters are:I'm thinking this is a bug rather than a 'feature' so should probably enter it into the bug tracker system...???...

Firon Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 You can't import any files with non-English characters from 1.2.2 because 1.2.2 was not Unicode, and 1.3 is. The filenames differ between the two. (accented characters are NOT part of us-ascii). Simply right click the torrent and Force re-check to make it re-create (and re-download) any Unicode named files. This is unavoidable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostweekend Posted December 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 AH, OK I understand now. Thanks for the info. I had to set up another instance of 1.2.2 seeding a copy of the files to get the 1.3 version completed (as I have been the only seeder for this torrent for a while). All is OK now and 1.3 is happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
