Bomberb05 Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 pictures provided:never had this issue with any previous version of uTorrent and its only on those two torrents as you can see. i get the error while hashing the files. restarted client and pc multiple times today comming up with same results. even tried resorting back to a beta from 1.4 and still showing up so im thinking its a hardware issue.also 1.5 seems to be hogging sys resources even though it is set to have low_cpu usage. for the mean time 1.4 beta's seem to work fine.thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 CRC error is a Windows error, or specifically, an HDD error, that says it failed to read the data on the drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joakim_A Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 CRC error is a Windows error, or specifically, an HDD error, that says it failed to read the data on the drive.I doubt that explaination when it comes to the latest 1.5 version. I Just yesterday downloaded it and started to run it. I was prevously using the Rufus 0.6.9 BitTorrent client and have no prioblems with it!. But when using µTorrent I get this CRC problem. I created my Torrent using Make Torrent 2 and then uploaded it to a private tracker. Then downloaded the Torrent again to get the pass key in the Torrent. I then deleted the original Torrent I created and added this new Torrent containing the Pass Key to the Torrent list in µTorrent. It started to hash and everything was alright. It hashed 100% and started to seed. It went fine for several hours but then suddenly I got this CRC error and after I just re-starts the Torrent it will work alright for a few hours more before getting the CRC error again. I notice nothing strange about my HD and when usig Rufus which I currently are using again today I get no such problems!.So maybe it is a bug in µTorrent 1.5???Or what do you think about this, are you sure it really is a HD problem if so what should I do??I have heard about SpinRite will it fix it??

Firon Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 Again, CRC error is reported by your HDD (which is then reported by Windows), when it fails to read a sector properly. It's NOT a client issue. If you're getting intermittent CRC errors, then the sector's still readable, but starting to fail.Get SpinRite and run a scan on your disk.

If you're getting intermittent CRC errors, then the sector's still readable, but starting to fail.Get SpinRite and run a scan on your disk.I think I will get SpinRite!But do you have any idea why only µTorrent are reporting it when Rufus do not?.Can it be that Rufus lacks this function meaning reading messages coming from the HDD itself?.I performed a search on Rufus Forums and no matches where found when searching for CRC but when performing the same search here in these forums I get several hits!.So how come that CRC errors is so prevalent with this client??Is it just that µTorrent happen to be one of a few or the only one with this reporting function?

Firon Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 µT just tells you what windows tells it (access denied, crc error, etc, a lot of the tracker status errors). Other clients may not show the messages like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramprasad85 Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 I recovered from a CRC error. here is what i did. In the utorrent preferences i had enabled 'Pre-allocate all files"due to a system crash one of the downloads reported CRC error and was not downloading.so using the s/w 'total copy' i copied the downloaded files to another drive.total copy reported the same error. i clicked 'skip copying the file'.The tool exited without deleting the data copied till then.in utorrent i deleted the torrent and added it again and specified the new location as destination.the downloading 'continued'but i noted that there was a little loss of data. Before deleting the torrent utorrent showed that it had downloaded 70 mb. after the procedure, downloading continued from 68 mb. may be it will work even without pre-allocating.hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dugrrr Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 I was getting CRC errors on torrents in uTorrent (as well as Windows getting hung for a moment or explorer.exe crashing).I opened the command prompt and ran Chkdsk with the /r option; no to unmount; yes to schedule and restart.Chkdsk found some bad sectors and some misallocated space, took awhile to run.so far so good.*I also took the opportunity to upgrade to the latest uTorrent (& peerblock) betas. I think that peerblock's 'show allowed connections' checkbox increased the hit on performance too, should be unchecked.hope this helps for anyone with similar circumstances.

chicknfood Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 Completely new 1.5 TB Western Digital drive. Utorrent suggests CRC errors with multiple files I try to seed from off the hard drive. Consistently, the 6GB file always throws a CRC error at the same percentage. SMART analysis comes out clean. chkdsk comes out fine no blocks or errors. Western Digital's utility comes out fine. I can't seem to get SpinRite to check it since it's an internal HD in an enclosure, however, i've also tried two enclosures... I can't seem to collaborate utorrent's error with an actual error on the drive. Stuff copies to and from the hard drive with no issues. I even copy the file to two other hard drives and they stream fine... any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 Well, something's going wrong.And it isn't uTorrent actually generating the error. It's only relaying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogly Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 Are you sure the initial torrent is not corrupt? I already saw seeders seeding torrents with 1 or 2 missing pieces. So when it's a file cut in zipped parts (like .rar), you get CRC errors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicknfood Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 The file is a single file, when i copy to other hard drives utorrent doesn't report any crc errors, so the file itself isn't corrupt. I'm running SpinRite on the disk now should be done by this afternoon, i'll try it again after and report backedit: found some viruses on my system by chance while fixing another computer. It seems that it was causing the CRC error, now the torrent seems fine, i'm going to keep testing, but my first instinct is that the hard drive is completely fine.Edit2: CRC error has completely vanished with no errors on my external hard drive. Utorrent now runs fine off the external. All problems gone once all viruses were removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
