Lexxington Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 I see the part file bug is still present in the 406 beta!Deleted torrent from list, added it again. Set files to skip and files to download normally, then forced a re-hash and then started to d/l.Part file got bigger and BIGGER and BIGGER but the actual files never got 'filled'.I used 'pre-allocate' and diskio.use_partfile is set to TRUE in advanced options.Hope this gets FIXED once and for all soon please.

Firon Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 Is compact allocation on? How much disk space you have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexxington Posted January 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 Is compact allocation on? How much disk space you have?bt.compact_allocation is set to FALSE.There's 'enough' disk space for the whole torrent but in any case only selected files are pre-allocated.

Firon Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 So right now the size of your partfile is ~= the amount downloaded? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexxington Posted January 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 So right now the size of your partfile is ~= the amount downloaded?When the part file is bugging out like this, the amount downloaded = the size of the part file.Some of the files were completed elsewhere. Those files plus one other file (which is partially complete) are set to normal download and the rest are skipped.After removing the torrent, adding it again, going through the selection process above, doing a re-hash and starting the torrent downloading, the part file size starts at 0 and increases to the size shown in the amount downloaded at the bottom of ther screen. The pre-allocated file doesn't ever seem to get written to, but the part file just gets bigger and bigger.One other thing, the pre-allocated not completed file has been allocated the WRONG size. It's a few MB short!Forgot to mention also that there are a lot of errors in the logging section about PF file not found or something. Sorry can't be exact here. Loads and loads of these.I'll see if the same happens in v411. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazuaki Shimazaki Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 I don't know. I had a similar problem once but it works perfectly for me. But I don't use Pre-Allocate, ever, so disabling pre-allocate if you hadn't already... Why do you want that on anyhow.As for the PF stuff, I see them a lot too in the newer versions. Eventually, I came to the conclusion that they are pretty harmless by themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firon Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 pre-allocate does not minimize fragmentation in µTorrent.http://www.utorrent.com/faq.php#How_do_I_make_.C2.B5Torrent_allocate_all_the_files_when_I_start_the_torrent.3F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
