Ghost21 Posted January 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Yeah, bluetack's templist has IPs that are close, but not matching the ones I listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KniFFe Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 HiIf you get lots of hashfails you may try this: add the ip's to firewall.Work for me! (use uTorrent ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Don't forget that Azureus 2.4.0.0 has a bug with PE which causes extra hashfails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hwfanatic Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 A 8,5 GiB torrent probably has pieces as large as 4 MiB so detecting and banning bad peers can take a long time. Only one corrupt chunk and the whole piece is of no use. It happens I currently have this problem as well, and I have no clue what to do to prevent it. I disabled protocol encryption, but that just doesnt cut it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McoreD Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 Hate to bring this up again but my lastnight problem was also "Getting lots of failed hash check" as the thread title says. Last night, for a 124 MiB torrent, I had 1.77 GiB of wasted data! Here in Australia, our downloads are counted. I myself have only 10 GiB Off Peak allowance per month of and this was like 17.7% of it. Running the latest uTorrent 1.7 beta build 1703. Whatever the implementation that has been done so far for preventing wasting download, hasn't unfortunately worked for me last night. Is this is a known bug with 1703 build?

Firon Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 You're on a heavily poisoned torrent. Turning on bt.use_rangeblock may help slightly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McoreD Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 Thanks Firon. It's a private torrent, anyways, taking your advice, also started to use ipfilter.dat. The ipfilter.dat will automatically be downloaded and replaced on a daily basis. Will report anything interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyromanizak Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 excuse my noobishness but whats a hash check Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 Check for data integrity. It's to make sure the data isn't corrupt or damaged (or at least that it is identical to the file as it was originally shared). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyNameIsSam Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 Can someone please explain what "failed has check" even means? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 http://utorrent.com/faq.php#What_does_Wasted_and_hashfails_mean.3FAs you download each piece is hashed against the torrent (the authority on the data), if it fails, it redownloads that piece.

Entarsha Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 Hello I am new here and I am not that bright when it comes to computer lingo. But I am trying to download [read announcement!] and it has two failed hash checks what exactly does that mean? Do I have to look for another link to download? Or is it my computer? Sorry for all the questions . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 A piece failed hash check, re-downloading it This is a benign message, you can safely ignore it. It means that you received a piece of the file that didn't check out as being correct, so it will be downloaded again. Probable cause of this might be someone incorrectly using the "skip hash check" option. If this option is incorrectly used on a not-yet complete file, the client will send pieces to its peers that are not correct and fail the built-in hash checking routines meant to catch such errors.
