eloj Posted February 6, 2006 Report Posted February 6, 2006 An image says more than a thousand words.As you can see, I have a lot of files at 100% in utorrent, but none on the filesystem. Yes, the torrent has been 100% downloaded, still no flush. When I took the screenshot I'd just opened up the e02 file for download, hoping it'd force a flush, but no. The pieces just added to the gigantic part-file.I've tried everything I can think of to get the parts collected in the "~uTorrentPartFile_2FD70B000.dat" to flush, but nothing helps. I've rescanned, I've tried starting up more downloads, toggling the use of the PartFile. Nothing.Surely a rescan is SUPPOSED to distribute the blocks into the file-system? What more can I try?
eloj Posted February 7, 2006 Author Report Posted February 7, 2006 No. The only advanced setting I've touched is "coalesce writes" which I had on "true".The reason I'm in this position is likely that I was downloading the files in batches due to disk-space restrictions. So I downloaded the first 12+12 (or so) files, having the last eleven on "skip", which completed successfully in the normal way. I then proceded to tag the successfully downloaded files as "Skip", burned them to DVDR, and **removed them from the filesystem**. Then I rescanned -- so the client wouldn't try and send the now non-existant pieces -- and started downloading the last batch of the files.It wasn't until the download was complete and I added the last batch to my Nero project, that I noticed that something was wrong.
Firon Posted February 7, 2006 Report Posted February 7, 2006 Try deleting the zero-byte files, stop the torrent, and skip then unskip all the files.
eloj Posted February 7, 2006 Author Report Posted February 7, 2006 Now it's doing something... seems to be flushing into the wrong file(names) though. Recreating s01e01, s01e02, etc.Let's see where this ends up.[...]143173632 2006-02-07 02:18 forever.knight.s01e10.dead.air.aviO what a mess that made. The first file created BEGINS with an AVI frame table. Guess I should try rescanning.
Firon Posted February 7, 2006 Report Posted February 7, 2006 Hmm... perhaps you can rename the files to match the ones it's supposed to be?Anyway, I think this issue may've happened if you suddenly got really low on space during the torrent...
