coolspot Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 Hi all,I'm having trouble getting perfect completion on one of my torrents. uTorrent reports the files have downloaded 100%, but the second file's first piece is always missing if I do a force recheck.Once the recheck is done, I'll start the torrent again and the piece would be downloaded successfully... but upon a force recheck again, the uTorrent reports the first piece is missing.I do have the first file in the torrent set to skipped, could this be an issue?Thanks.

DreadWingKnight Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 What type of file is it?Is it always the same piece over and over again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolspot Posted January 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 Yes, same piece over and over again - It's an AVI file.The file list looks like:File1.sub (Skipped)File2.avi (this one is missing a small slice at the beginning)File3.avi File4.avi ...I've set to download the .sub file ... going to see if this fixes the issue.

coolspot Posted January 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 Any reason why skipping files will cause this issue? Is it a known bug? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 It's a problem caused by cross-file pieces. Any piece that overlaps with another file will get discarded if either of the overlapping files is deleted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolspot Posted January 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 Thanks DWK for the explanation. Is the file truly corrupt - or is it that the hash algorithm cannot handle these cross-file pieces? From searching on the forums it seems the file IS downloaded, just the force recheck doesn't take into account the cross-file pieces correct?Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogly Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 No, the file is physically complete until your start the torrent job after the forced recheck and uT redownload the discarded edge pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
