martix Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 uT is creating files that were skipped during download.This isn't how it used to work.Usually everything superfluous went into the "partfile".How do I prevent uT from creating files it wasn't told to?

ciaobaby Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 Set it to use a partfile instead, in Preferences -> Advanced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martix Posted November 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 It does use the partfile!Only some files get created as per torrent instead of simply mashing everything that's been skipped in the partfile.And skipped files are supposed to be SKIPPED, not included with the rest, NEVERMIND which torrent piece they were part of!I want a latte and uT is like "NO, here have a latte, a double espresso and a donut!".I just want the latte.

rafi Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 I like the donut thing... Do you skip the files *before* you start downloading?And there could definitely be an issue with using partfiles, since the whole IO subsystem was revised. Try to skip files in the add torrent dialog, not in the files tab, that might help bypass the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciaobaby Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 Do you skip the files *before* you start downloading?And do you have preallocate set on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martix Posted November 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 Yes, indeed I am talking about a torrent that was freshly added.I skip the files in the "Add torrent" dialog, not the Files tab.Pleallocate is OFF.And then I stop the torrent. Delete all files, recheck everything and lo and behold - as soon as I press start here they are again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafi Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 Latest 3.3.2? and you do not see a partfile created at all ? All is well here. Maybe - just try test with my settings (@sig) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martix Posted November 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 Latest stable channel release.And I do see a part file.It's just that most skipped stuff is OUTSIDE of it. I have no idea what's inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafi Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 You need to provide a sample torrent/link and screenshot of your exact skip-list , so to be able to reproduce it. (maybe with Slackware torrent?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
