Kraew Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 I moved some of my torrent-files to an external harddisc, and redirected the uploading torrents in µTorrent to this position (Advanced -> Set Download Location).But after re-starting the torrents in µTorrent, it seems that I have lost torrentpieces of some of my seeding files.Typically the first and/or the last pieces of a file.How can this happen?I have tryed to force a re-check, without any results.How can I regain these pieces?

DreadWingKnight Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 Are you selectively downloading parts of the torrents? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreadWingKnight Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 What type of files are they?Some media indexers may be to blame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultima Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 What media player do you use? Chances are, something is modifying the file tags, causing the pieces to become corrupt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kraew Posted July 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 I use MediaPlayer 11 and RealPlayer.But most of these files have NOT been opened in neither of these players, since the problem occured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Both WMP and RealPlayer automatically retag media files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kraew Posted July 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 mmm... So can i avoid this problem in the future? Or is this just bad luck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Well, in WMP's case, there should be an option to prevent it from ever modifying tags. For RealPlayer, I don't know how to do it. I don't use either one, as they're both terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
