yoda Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 Hi;This is the second night I've noticed this. After loading a torrent and beginning downloading, utorrent would download 50 or so MB then stop. Nothing I would do would resume the downloads. Peers are there and during the download stoppage, new peers are constantly appearing. I am connected. My connection is fine. Tonight, it happened again. I deleted the torrent and reloaded it. This resumed the download. After a minute or so, the download quit. Reloaded the torrent after delete, the download resumed and again quit after a minute. After looking around, I found out that if I delete and reload, the download will begin until EXACTLY 4.00MB is downloaded and the download quits until I reload the torrent. I've done it about 10 times and every time 4.00MB is reached, the download abruptly quits. Any ideas? The exact same behavior has occurred for two days. After a large download of 50MB or so, the download stops. Then the torrent must be deleted and reloaded and download resumes for EXACTLY 4.00 MB then hits a brick wall. Deleting and reloading the torrent will again alow exactly 4.00MB of the download until it hits another brick wall.Any help here would be appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoda Posted September 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 Well I upgraded from 11758 to 11813. Did a clean uninstall then the install. Still the exact same 4.0 MB chunk then the brick wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firon Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 What's the torrent availability? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted September 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 Looks like it was the torrent that was causing the problems. The torrent had multiple files within it and when I loaded it, I only checked the files I wanted. The first few downloaded, but after that, subsequent files would stop after 4 MB.Thanks for replying :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlefire Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 .. uhh, yeah, skipping the files means uTorrent won't download them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted September 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 Not really what I meant. The torrent has, for example, Ten 100Mb files. When I load the torrent, a screen comes up where I can select as many of the files as I want... all or only one of them. The first time I selected one file and it downloaded without a problem. Then I reloaded the torrent and selected another file. This one downloaded fine also. When I reloaded the torrent for the third file, it downloaded to 20MB or so, and stopped. After reloading the torrent, it began DLing the file and abruptly stopped when it hit EXACTLY 4.00 MB of the download. The only way to resume the download was to reload the torrent. And every reload bought me precisely 4.00MB before the download hit a brick wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlefire Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 ... How do you mean reload? I don't understand why you don't just go to the Files tab, and right click, change from do not download (aka Skip) to Low, Normal or High. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted September 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 Because I didnt realize I could do it that way. I'm a total noob when it comes to this bittorrent stuff. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlefire Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 Fair response OK, but how WERE you doing it?It's possible the order you were doing things was messing with you, so... come on now, noone's pointing fingers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted September 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 I just tried it how you said and now it is downloading the parts without problems. Thanks :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlefire Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 OK, so to explain it to you, the files you "wanted" to download now were still marked as "do not download" aka SKIP in the files tab. That explains why only one piece of data was downloaded.Glad to help Share the knowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
