Harm done to files by crashing?

I'm a complete idiot with understanding how computers actually work, but...

(basically, I downloaded something that doesn't work in the way it should do and there were one or two crashes while downloading) would a crash do any harm to the download? Is it possible that a crash could corrupt the file in any way, or does uTorrent check/fix anything that could be screwed up perfectly?

Thanks for your time

A crash can damage a file being written to, and normally a file will be checked after a crash. You can re-check a file in µT by right clicking it and pressing Force Re-Check, any pieces that fail are removed, and can be re-downloaded if the file is still available.
