peerblock problem

[pht_01]

Hey,

I use utorrent along with vidalia and Peerblock. I really don't know if it's an issue with utorrent, or the other programs. Here's what is going on. I started downloading a couple of wmv files. mid-size files(800mb to 2 Gb). When I previewed some of the files - double clicking in the files that were downloading, I get so see a local movie from my pc, a family video. First thing on my mind a a hard drive screw up. so I run scandisk looking for bad sectors, to file allocations, etc. and defrag, and whatever came to my mind to see if the disk was faulty. nope. it was ok. I deleted the torrent files, and retried one of them.

When I tried to preview it, the video file was corrupt... so I basically opened on wordpad... and wow!!! there it was , a bunch of my files piled up one on top of the other, emails, logs, bookmarks, and other files and programs I couldn't identify.

as far as outpost, panda cloud,(I know, I know), and malwarebytes, there is no virus or spyware on my pc.

Any ideas of what is going on ???

That's a side effect of you trying to preview incomplete files.

Additionally, we don't support or endorse the use of uTorrent with Tor (vidalia)

thanks for the reply, so It's something normal?

about the second part: why? If I may ask..

[DreadWingKnight]

re your core issue: It has to do with how old files get deleted and what uTorrent does when it creates the placeholders for new files

re the not supporting tor thing: It's a MASSIVE performance hit and THEY don't support or endorse it either.

Running BitTorrent traffic through tor is a DDoS attack on their very fragile network...because they have very limited bandwidth.
