Is the torrent complete.... or not ?

[davexnet]

Hello, or more than one occasion, I've downloaded

various multi-file torrents and have experienced the following anomaly:

The recent torrent contained 16 files, approx 350MB each.

When the torrent was 100% complete, it continued to seed for a day or two.

After a while, I stopped the torrent, then right-clicked and selected "force recheck".

After it was done, 2 of the files were only 99.96 complete. Sure enough, when I

restarted the torrent, those two downloaded some more and completed again.

why is this occurring?

TIA for any info.

Two of what? what parts are missing? Use the Files tab, sort by first piece.

I thought my description was quite clear. I'll try again.

The particular torrent has 16 avi files, the torrent itself was 100% complete

and was happily seeding away.

I stopped the torrent, and forced the recheck. Now two of the avi files are

only 99.96 % complete.

They were formerly complete but now (at the moment of the recheck) they're not.

Because you have ignored a file (or more) in the torrent (eg .txt or .NFO) and the forced recheck discards edge pieces that overlay a downloaded file and an ignored file.

Normal behavior. Read that for more info:

Indeed, thank you moogly. I was asking WHERE in the FILES was it showing INCOMPLETE (red).

Thanks for the info. I believe that's the problem (edge pieces).

Cheers.
