gUGYdvqGvYQM Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 it seems confusing because the 2 files that I initially canceled are downloaded and also the percentage is stuck at 99%?is it 99.9% of the whole torrent content or is it just the part that I have chosen to download. it can't be form the whole torrent so I guess it's a bug :?

dajojo88 Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 The skipped files aren't being downloaded intentionally. Bittorent clients download the data in pieces, and the pieces take into account the entire contents of the torrent, not the individual files. What's actually happening is the files you are skipping are in the same piece as the files that you want, and must be downloaded in order to receive the full version of the file that you want. That is why it only downloads a small portion of bigger files and full versions of the smaller files. It is the nature of all bittorrent clients, not just utorrent.

gUGYdvqGvYQM Posted October 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 ok sorry about the double post, but what about the percentage? that doesn't make sense... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaosblade Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 That part is indeed a bug. It's actually done downloading all the files you wanted, but it still counts the torrent as a 'downloading' one with 99.9% completed value. Thoughy you can be assured the files are done.
