uTorrent doesn't save all the data

[Martin]

I had two incomplete torrents running in uTorrent:

The first torrent was at 44.7% (1.9GB)

The second one was at 14.7% (657.3MB)

Then I closed uTorrent and when I opened uTorrent again some data was missing:

The first torrent now showed 44.6% (1.9GB)

And the second one showed 14.5% (650.3MB)

So what's happening here? Does uTorrent forget to write the data that's in the cache when exiting?

I think it just discards the incomplete files.

It should store the incomplete stuff in some temporary file or something.

Maybe those temporary files get deleted on exit. Definitly something ludde should look into.

One of my torrents last night was listed as 100%, however, when i looked at the files, alot of them were still at around 95%. I had a disk cache of about 7 or 8mb with no other torrents going - I think the rest of the data may have been stuck in the disk cache, however because i didnt have any other torrents, it never wrote it to the hard drive.

It writes out the disk cache every 30 seconds. Did you wait that long? The individual files won't be listed as 100% until the disk cache has been written out and the pieces verified. The complete % value includes the un-verified pieces (and this value will thus go down if there's a hashfail).

It only resumes the complete and verified pieces. The pieces where only some blocks have been downloaded do not get resumed. I will fix this for next version.
