re-downloading torrent causes re-check to show only 13% completed.

[hajj_3]

i have downloaded a 4gb torrent in 50mb rars, it was complete, i then delete the torrent from the list+ .torrent, when i re-downloaded the torrent it then re-checked the data that it was about to resume, but it showed only 13% once it had finished checking, please can you alter the code so that it is 100% or nearly 100% complete. using bitcomet when you do this it either says 100% or something like 98.6%, im not too bothered about downloading 1.4% again so that i can seed the file, but re-downloading 87% is really bad. im using latest 1.3.1 beta by the way.

hope you can change the code in a future version, but in the meantime please can you fix this bug for the next version, it will be a very simple bug for you to fix: http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=3837

THANKS!!

this program is amazing by the way, will never go back to bitcomet even if they fix the dht bug, hopefully some of its features will be added to this like you have done in the 1.3.1 beta builds!

Are you sure didn't screw something up and delete half the files or something?

And were you doing selective downloading on build 378?

[hajj_3]

no, didnt delete any files, and i may have only unselected the sample.vob or .avi file, cant remember if i did or didnt. also cant remember whether i was using 1.3 or a 1.3 beta build at the time, hopefully someone can test this out by download a similar torrent and try first by downloading all the files, then if its 100% try by unselecting an .avi or .vob, try with both 1.3 and latest 1.3.1 build.

thanks.

It was probably the old partfile bugs that caused it. It's been fixed in beta build 378.

Unfortunately, since you deleted and re-added the torrent, you can't recover the stuff in the partfile. Might wanna go into the folder and see if there's a huge partfile, just delete it.

hmm, cant really check as ive deleted the torrent and the downloaded files, but hopefully someone else can check once they have extracted the iso, img etc from the rars instead of deleting the torrent and rars try re-downloading the .torrent and resume uploading, then try unselecting one of the files in the torrent and resuming making sure to re-check first.

make sure you use latest beta when doing this.

if i come across this bug again with latest beta or newer i will reply in this thread.

thanks.

The latest beta shouldn't have any weird errors like this, ludde and I found the bugs with the partfile earlier today. However, if you do have something odd happen (and compact allocation allocates in a weird way, it's perfectly normal) that affects your torrent data like this, do mention it.

grummt said in the utorrent bug filer:

After completing a download, I stop it in uTorrent, move the files that

were downloaded to a different drive, delete the old location files,

restart the torrent in uTorrent, then when it complains it can't find the

files change the download location to the new place, force recheck, and it

says I've only completed a few percent (if any at all).

There are some ways to get it to find the whole file. One time I removed

the old download files from the recycle bin to a random location, forced

recheck on the new download location and it found it all.

Another time I changed the download location to the master folder the

.torrent created instead of just the folder the master folder was in,

forced recheck and it found it all.

I can't pinpoint what makes the uTorrent recheck find the "missing" parts.
