nweissma Posted March 29, 2012 Report Posted March 29, 2012 i dl'd a large file (1.25GB) and the device that i dl'd to was new and untested and defective and rma'd.how can i know whether this miscreant device perverted the dl? how do i use that 'hash code,' of about 40 alphanumeric characters, that exists in the info tab?
nweissma Posted March 30, 2012 Author Report Posted March 30, 2012 i can't understand what the migration guide has to do with the price of eggs in china.did you understand my original question: i dl'd a .torrent onto a defective thumb drive; how can i determine whether the thumb drive corrupted the dl?
DreadWingKnight Posted March 30, 2012 Report Posted March 30, 2012 The process of following the migration guide forces a re-check on the files.
nweissma Posted March 30, 2012 Author Report Posted March 30, 2012 why can't i just "force a re-check" (from uT's drop-down menu)? (i forgot about the recheck facility; is it dispositive? do you know what it checks, and its algorithm?)and what is that ~40-character alphanumeric hash code that appears in the info tab; can it serve in some functionality capacity for the end-user?
DreadWingKnight Posted March 30, 2012 Report Posted March 30, 2012 It's the same as the migration guide. You just need the correct location specified.The algorithm is a segmented SHA-1 hash based on the pieces portion of the torrent file.
