Linds Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Hi. Yesterday my downloaded torrent was already about 50% but my netbook hanged and I had to shut it down.. The torrent was downloading that time. And when I turned on again to resume the torrent download, it was back to 0%. What should I do? What if the downloaded already file duplicates after downloading the whole thing and the remaining parts does not download instead?? I've tried restarting my netbook and stopping the download. But it just doesn't work. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciaobaby Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 It's not really a 'bug' but a safeguard against serving out invalid data and 'poisoning' the 'swarn' that your client is part of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linds Posted February 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 thank you.. but.. does that affect the file? i'm afraid i might have to start downloading the drama all over again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciaobaby Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 If you break uTorrent off and interrupt it during a flush to disc operation, the pieces (and the resume.dat) can be damaged beyond what a hashsum recovery (force recheck) can repair, so the client has to discard all of the downloaded data to prevent seeding corrupt pieces to the other peers (the swarm).

ciaobaby Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 what do i do with the downloaded file before the 0% happened?It should have been overwritten by the restart, so do you have TWO copies of the download?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linds Posted February 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 no.. i only have one.. i've downloaded 10.9gb already (49.4%).. so lets say before all this happened, the size that i have downloaded is already 5gb.. if its overwritten, why is it that the old ones that ive downloaded (before this problem) the file size is still there? the total file size i have in my local disk c: before ive download is probably about 76gb.. and now, i've downloaded 10.9gb already and its now 66gb.. shouldn't it be 70gb because it was overwritten? and it will be 66gb later on when i finish downloading again ? sorry for bad english. but i hope you understand. where did that 5gb go?

ciaobaby Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 uTorrent allocates ALL the disc space required for the torrent when the first byte of data is downloaded, unless you have it set to pre-allocate which will allocate the space when the job is first loaded.
