I don't know if this is a bug or not...? Maybe it's me ...!

I am not asking about what I downloaded, even though they are in the public domain.

I need to find out if I'm doing something wrong or if uT 2.0 is at fault, or what. So

far, the few times I've used uT, it has worked flawlessly.

However, here's what happened:

I downloaded several (public domain) audiobooks one evening last week, then went to sleep. Since I haven't used uTorrent very much, I didn't know how long it would take.

The next morning they were complete. When I got around to listening to them a couple of days

ago, I was shocked - I played the first one and all was fine for about the first 8-10 minutes,

then it started playing a part of another one of the audiobooks I had downloaded (for maybe 2

minutes), then switched back to the original, then a few minutes later it switched to the third

audiobook for a few minutes, then back to the original. This continued to happen for

25-30 minutes. It was like they were scrambled in pieces together. I use VLC 1.05 as a media player. I'm running Vista Home Premium SP2 on an AMD Phenom 9600 Quad Core 2.30 GHz, 3 gigs RAM, and uTorrent was the only program running all night long. The next morning uTorrent looked the same, acted the same, no problems with Vista.

Question(s):

Is this a bug?

Or, should I have downloaded these one at a time?

Or, is there some setting in uT I should have set to prevent this?

Or, does anyone with experience with uTorrent have any suggestions?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Incomplete files should not be previewed.

It's a problem with disk allocation that has been previously discussed.

Ok, I'll look again.

Thanks.

The OS does not zero files when you delete them. uTorrent does not zero files when allocating them, so you get "old" data. Don't preview your files with VLC.
