waterbeast Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 This is a bug with Utorrent 1.8.5. It might also be in 2.0 (I haven't verified this for 2.0 however). Even if 1 file is skipped out of many files, the tracker is incorrectly told that the torrent has been snatched. This bug occurs when the file that is downloaded is very small. If the one file that is skipped is of significant size, then this does not happen, even if it's only one file.By "significant size", I mean "large enough". I'm not sure whether the skipped file has to simply be larger than a certain size (10 MB) or whether the skipped file has to be a certain percentage of the entire torrent in size. However, this bug does exist.No snatchlist entry should appear unless the torrent was really completely downloaded, especially if you don't want the snatchlist entry to appear. This is a matter of privacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 No, it downloaded the whole thing. If you skip small files, it downloads the entire piece (it must, as it needs the entire piece to validate). Therefore, you downloaded the entire torrent.

waterbeast Posted March 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 I see. What is the largest possible piece size then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 "Large enough" is defined by the piece size of the torrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterbeast Posted March 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 Of course. But what is the largest possible piece size of the torrent that the uploader can choose or that some other factor such as the uTorrent client chooses for him, as inefficient as it might be? Not "large enough," but "largest possible". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 In practice, 8-16mb.By protocol definition there is no largest piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
