omglol741 Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 This has happened with a couple of large rar files. It downloads to 100%, but the extraction fails. So I recheck the file, and it's at 99%ish. It redownloads to 100%, but some pieces disappear again when I recheck. So I don't know if this has to do with my hard drive, RAM, or check files or whatever. How would I fix this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogly Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 If you have ignored some files in the torrent (selective downloading), it's normal the forced re-check doesn't be at 100% because uT discards uncomplete edge pieces whick overlay complete files & ignored files.Anyway Bittorent is an byte-exact sharing protocol so if your data are corrupted maybe the uploader has seeded corrupted data or you have an hardware issue (HD, RAM etc...)

GTHK Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 Is the corruption in random places? Could be bad RAM or HDD if that's the case. Running chkdsk C: /r might help as any bad sectors on an HDD found should be flagged as do not use. For RAM you can run MemTest86+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 Are you skipping files? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTHK Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 And if you're skipping files, don't delete the part file created :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omglol741 Posted November 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 nope I'm not skipping anything. I think my RAM had like one or two errors on memtest a while ago. I don't know if that's normal.Last time this happened, I figured it might be a bad spot on the hard drive or something, so I copied it and checked it there. It worked, but this didn't work with this file after a couple tries. This computer is just like 6 months old, so I don't know if it would be the hardware.I don't really know how the hash checks or whatever work. Is it possible that I got a bad check file in the first place? Or how would I check this?and I think Windows ran chkdsk a few days ago when it crashed. So this keeps track of bad sectors and such? I'll try that again later I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogly Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 Bad sectors or RAM failure, not an issue with uT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent24 Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 omglol741:Errors in Memtest are not normal. Thats what they are, errors. It means something is faulty. Usually RAM but could also be caused by bad CPU, Motherboard or even a bad PSU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
