NineTails Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 I uploaded a torrent of 21 ~300 mebibyte big files to my tracker, everything went fine. As these files were movies, I started watching them and deleting the watched ones as I needed some free space (40GiB HD, poor me). As uploader, I continued seeding what was left, and..Whoops! Where's the beginning of my file? Shall we.. redownload it?...What's that? I have already watched this file!The next day I download some files of other torrent and.. One file I haven't set up to be dowloaded has some data in the end as on previous screenshot...and sometimes Torrent Error: Element not found appeared.P.S. uTorrent 1.5 (build 437) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rafi Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 boo, I'm trying for ages to have someone understand that the user is interested in *files* not in *pieces* . uT should not display either % or pieces of non-existent files. Simple logic will do that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 Simple understanding of the protocol says that the client MUST download the rest of the piece in order to verify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 You cannot remove files from a torrent while in use. If you remove any file, you have to force a re-check EVERY SINGLE TIME, and it will cause some data to get re-downloaded even if you skip the removed files.

NineTails Posted June 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 Oh. Thanks. However, obviously, if torrent is completed, there is no need to download anything. Even if some parts of the torrent are missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 Yes there is, because files don't fall on piece boundaries. If you remove any file, it has to re-download one or two pieces to fill out the shared pieces that it had with files you already have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
