Shay Guy Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 The other day, I noticed that one of the files I was downloading seemed to be stuck at 99.9% complete, and wasn't downloading any more. Even stranger - the Pieces tab listed every single piece from 1 to however many, and looking in the General tab showed that actually, far less had been downloaded. I tried to stop the download and Force Re-Check, but then uTorrent froze up and I had to restart.When I started it again, the correct download percentage was shown, but it had to go through all the checking again. A few hours later, though, it was stuck at the fake 99.9% again, and I had to repeat it. Lather, rinse, until it was finally really done.Then I had the same problem with another file. Looking at that one now, a little while after restarting, it says 41.7% downloaded (and was 40.1% when I started), even though it still says "Pieces: 713 x 256 kB (have 202)," which works out to 28.3%. The Pieces tab looks like this. Something's definitely wrong here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 the download % includes incomplete pieces.Also, did that 99.9% torrent have a thumbs.db? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shay Guy Posted June 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Not sure, and remember, it's happened with two separate files now. The current torrent hasn't completed any more pieces since I posted, even though it's up to 51%. I may need to restart again...yep, back to 28.4% now.EDIT: It seems to have stalled again. Possibly useful info. Says 94.8%, with 523/713 pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Every time you do a force re-check, all incomplete pieces are thrown away.Your disk also seems to be overloading there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shay Guy Posted June 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 Hmm...yeah, I noticed that, although I don't know what to do about it. (Googling turns up mention of a "diskio.write_queue_size" setting, which I can't find under Preferences.) But why does it keep on suddenly stopping completion of piece downloads, or whatever it's doing? And the sudden drop in recorded upload/download speed?What exactly does "disc overloading" mean anyway? EDIT: Never mind, I are stoopid. Read TFM, think I've got a handle on it.

jewelisheaven Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 Write queue size was removed when disk cache was added for 1.4 iirc. Don't have the full chngelog handy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2bad Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 "the download % includes incomplete pieces."Does that mean the download % assumes all pieces in process to be complete? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 No, it means the amount of data you have downloaded so far for the incomplete piece is included in the % count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
