DreadWingKnight Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 What percentage are you getting on the replaced file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hermanm Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 There may be a failed hash check. You might have a complete file, but the little red part could mean the complete file is not exactly the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorian Posted May 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 I checked the crc with a complete file downloaded with the torrentI matched with official crcanyway I may have badly explained my problemI took a video for you to see what EXACTLY happenthey are some strange things... for exemple the incomplete file is ~95% done, when I replace by a the complete one, there is a download time, then the file's at ~97%... see the video for detailshere : http://www.divshare.com/download/4419873-103(don't mind my crc tests) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jewelisheaven Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 You must have all files in the torrent for it to be 100% if there are multiple files and you don't have them all then yes. However, if you have them all and the beginning and or end pieces still do not match it's possible some media player / indexer altered those parts for TAGS or INDEX purposes. In that case you will not match the 100% of the single file unless you remove this extra data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorian Posted May 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 I tried to replace ALL incomplete files...percentage dropped by 3 % !I give upa shame for the torrent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 It's QUITE POSSIBLE your % goes down when you replace... all pieces in PIECES tab are lost. So don't so that if you have alot of incomplete pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hermanm Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 Whoever created the torrent has bad data. Meaning, they corrupted their file then created a new torrent using the corrupt file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
