Entire torrent re-checking after "Relocate"

I'm downloading a 50GB torrent that contains 10 files of 5GB each. It's a very slow and painful process, I've been working on it for over a month now... :rolleyes:

Anyways, I noticed that every time I do "Relocate" to one of the files inside the torrent, it then Rechecks the ENTIRE torrent, all files, including those that I had already finished downloading and did not rename. This takes forever and is really a wasteful process - I don't see the point in Rechecking anyway, but if you're rechecking, might as well only recheck the file that was relocated and not everything else.

Well, this isn't a bug. It is how UT is made to do. By the way, why should you Relocate files? You should be starting your download to a disk with at least 50GB free space in it. If there is no disk with 50GB free space, still you are going to do the "painful" recheck process only 4 times at most. This is the process that assures of non corrupted data. Of course it should takes time since each piece is checked individually against it's hash. Anyway, if you dont like this, you can disable hash check. But it will be more "painful" since you might get badly corrupted after months of downloading. :rolleyes:

I'd say making relocate a little more efficient in the forced recheck would be a feature request rather then a bug. In any event try to clear some space and pre-relocate everything.

/me goes back to cleaning my <50GB free drive.
