orry Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 I often download more than the actual size of the file (the 'Download' is more than the 'Size'). Does anyone else get that?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orry Posted October 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 Perhaps I didnt make this clear - alright here it goes again...The 'Downloaded' column is bigger than the 'Size' column in the list. For example: the size of the torrent is (as displayed) 10.3GB, but I have actually downloaded 10.6GB. Of course this is according to what uTorrent says.I tried searching for it in FAQ but did not find any relevant topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 Again, see what DWK wrote. The General tab in µTorrent has an info field called "Wasted" that indicates how much bandwidth was used to download pieces that either failed the hash check, or were redundant (and thus, thrown out).As well, if a file was removed and redownloaded using the same torrent (without having removed/readded the torrent), then the downloaded column will also display more.

Firon Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 Because not all data downloaded is useful, the downloaded column can be larger than size. Also, removing files and rechecking as Ultima said will give the same result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
