chabapok Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 This is my statistic.From 10 power loss:8..9 - filelist ok.1..2 - filelist clean. After add torrents again to seed, i saw, that some (alredy downloaded!) files have one 4mb block wrong. utorrent start reload this block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 It starts to redownload it because it did a hashcheck, and the data was found to be corrupted.This can happen even if it was an already downloaded piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chabapok Posted March 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Yes, of course it starts to redownload because the data was found to be corrupted!But why the data was corrupted? These file(s) alredy (long month ago) downloaded! Every night I cut off my comp => files flush to disk. Files extension is .avi, not exeutable, *.dll and similar. as far as I can see, utorrent open() for read and write (not read only!) all files, even if file is 100% complete. After power loss opened for write files may be damage.most probably, filelist null after power loss -- similar reason.ps. sorry for my english Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTHK Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 If your prone to power loss then you should invest in a UPS. There are also other things that can cause corruption, bad hardware for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 There are many ways the resume.dat can be corrupted. That's why you should make your own backup procedure if you can't afford a UPS as GTHK suggests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chabapok Posted March 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Yes, i know. ups rulezz forever. I not from moon tumble down.Power loss bugs - must die. Why utorrent can not open critical files for read only?I see, that downloading files open for write. But completed files and system files should be open for read only. IMHO.

jewelisheaven Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Figure out WHY the resume.dat is corrupted / old. After torrents are complete there shouldn't be missing pieces unless you have bad ram or disk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 even if it's only open for reading, corruption can still happen (I've seen files opened for reading vanish like that, and it's very annoying...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
