cyphtr Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 1.8.1 beta 12083in "Files" tab of a torrent I think "first piece" (after the first entry in the First Piece column- first entry is always 0 anyway-) is miscalculatedI guess problem is a -1 instead of a +1for example it shows:"First Piece" "# Pieces"0 325324 325648 326...

cyphtr Posted September 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 no, not thatif it starts from 0 and if there are 325 pieces next should start at 325you can also tell it is wrong from the 3rd "[0] + 325 + 325" it must be 650 not 648 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlefire Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 Were you sorting by first piece? 0+325=324, 324+325=648.Edit: BEFORE you correct me.. MOST if not all files do not use up full pieces. Search for cross-file pieces on here if you care to read up on them. (Basically it means since bittorrent relies on data, it chunks all the data together and whatever data happens to be left over in the file gets added to the beginning of the next file) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 You've got some bad math. Starting from 0, 325 pieces would be 324. And the last piece is almost always shared with another file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyphtr Posted September 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 yeah dunno just weird...start:0 #pieces:20 1next piece should start at 2 ? but since it is shared with previous it starts at 1ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
