the_clown Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 BitTorrent divides the files into pieces so parts of other files have to be downloaded to get all of the data.BitTorrent does cryptographic hashing (SHA1) of all data. When you see "Download succeeded!" you can be sure that BitTorrent has already verified the integrity of the data. The integrity and authenticity of a BitTorrent download is as good as the original request to the tracker. Checking the MD5/CRC32/other hash of a file downloaded via BitTorrent is redundant.

1c3d0g Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 mririshred: search for "boundary pieces" etc., you'll get your answer. Basically it's just parts of other files that had to be downloaded to get your single file completed. Don't worry about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
