Monosuke Posted December 26, 2005 Report Share Posted December 26, 2005 Oke I'm going to TRY to explain the problem.( TEH HORROR !1!1 :-P )I was on this Massive 42 GB torrent file. It contained 10 ISO's. I downloaded 2 ISO's skipping all the others because I didn't want those. Now uTorrent shows I have completed both those 2 ISO's in the files tab as you can see below.But 1 whole ISO and the half of the 2nd ISO are both mixed up in the Partial File.The other half of the 2nd ISO is in ISO format. As you can see here.So I think the Partial file doesnt see the other ISO file. Any ideas on how I could make it 2 whole ISO's?BTW: On the screenshot you can see I was doing a re-check, after the re-check finished it showed one ISO ad 99.9% complete so it downloaded the last bit too but the problem was still the same :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miffo Posted December 26, 2005 Report Share Posted December 26, 2005 Dont bother, unless u know exactly how the partfile is written.You basicly move each byte from 1 file to another, but it seems like those files are abit big so.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miffo Posted December 26, 2005 Report Share Posted December 26, 2005 When i think of it, the partfile is only allocated for pieces that shouldnt download. So that error must have happened BEFORE you started downloading? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monosuke Posted December 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2005 Well... At first I had only Volume 8 as normal, all the others were skip. Then after Volume 8 was downloaded to about 1.8 GB I also put Volume 9 as a normal download. So I guess something happend there in between...At first I thought it was normal because partfiles were created in almost every download I had on. But after I needed some disk space and wanted to burn Volume 8 (which was complete) I couldn't figure out how to get the other half of Volume 8 out of that Partfile.So I figured I would just let it download both Volumes to a 100% so it would change the partfile to 2 normal ISO's, but... it didn't.I saw a topic once saying something like 'Download shows not finished but it really is' and I tried looking for it, spend more then 30 minutes going trough all trouble shooting pages and couldn't find a similliar problem or anything near it. So I just made this new topic hoping some one knew what it was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miffo Posted December 26, 2005 Report Share Posted December 26, 2005 looks like a bug to me.. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted December 26, 2005 Report Share Posted December 26, 2005 The partfile is buggy in older versions unfortunately. Beta build 378 should fix all problems, but you probably won't be able to recover the data from the old partfiles with this problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monosuke Posted December 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2005 This was with the latest 'normal' 1.3 version.Problem's also that some trackers don't allowed the latest beta to be used as it is still a 'beta' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted December 26, 2005 Report Share Posted December 26, 2005 Some trackers being bitmetv. Don't do selective downloading then, I guess.Or try turning off the partfile and using sparse files. Or be patient, the new final should be out in a day or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
