DreadWingKnight Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 Force a re-check on the file. I'm betting something on your hard drive changed and you don't actually have a 100% copy anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoots250 Posted July 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 Ok thanks for that.I have force rechecked and it found the offending part.It is a music file with 55 parts and one of the parts is only 91.8% complete hence giving the fail.Does this mean the whole torrent is spoilt or can i delete this part and the peers will still be able to use it........or can I somehow mend it and put it back in the torrent so it is complete.Sorry for the questions but I have spent ages trying to find this particular problem with no luck and this is my first torrent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTHK Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 If you are the original torrent uploader, and no one is complete, the torrent is "spoilt". If you can find an original you can try replacing the bad file, otherwise you'll need to make a new torrent.Since you said it was a music file, a program on your computer may have changed it without telling you. From what I gather Windows Media Player is one possible culprit. If you played the file, it might have updated the artist and stuff automatically. Try searching this forum and making sure any media player that can update file data has this feature disabled or set to manual/request. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
