kluelos Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Why not search Google for "sfv"? You will find answers there much faster, without waiting for one of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kluelos Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 They're entirely orthogonal to listening - they're just for error checking. Once you've downloaded whatever it is successfully and have finished seeding back, then you can just delete the .sfv file. You can't do anything with it and it's not part of the music or whatever you wanted. In practice, bittorrent downloads are far more accurate than file transfer methods generally used when the .sfv scheme was created. The .sfv concept is mostly a holdover from the past, when line noise and network glitches frequently caused errors when transferring files. Bittorrent's hash-checking makes surviving errors very rare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
