divingbirdie Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 (edited) Hi....I have been a bitcomet user for many years. Recently I ran into a hash checking problem--- hash check always hangs at 0.3%.CPU works like mad till the fan roars. Attempting any further action freezes Bitcomet. I tried the following Moving the file to a different physical drive and hashing again > same probelm downloading a torrent file instead of using magnet link, hash again > same problem tried on 1.31 x86 and x64, 1.29 x86, all having same result **Used uTorrent and it hashed perfectly to 99.8%, finished the download eventually Tried hashing the file (finished by utorrent) using bitcomet, hangs at 0.3% still Bitcomet has been my client of choice and i really hope the staff could look into it. Thanks! Edited March 8, 2012 by divingbirdie (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The UnUsual Suspect Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Hi, We can report a bug if we can reproduce it. I suggest you provide the torrent and one of our staff can check it (time permitting). If we can confirm it, the data will be sent to development.

divingbirdie Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share Posted March 9, 2012 Hi! I have PMed you the torrent hash. I hope this is an isolated case because other torrents are working fine. Thanks for your time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The UnUsual Suspect Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I haven't received any PM from you, and what we'd need would be the actual torrent, or magnet link. The hash won't help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
divingbirdie Posted March 10, 2012 Author Share Posted March 10, 2012 Hi. Here is the torrent file. problematic hashing.torrent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The UnUsual Suspect Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 I started the torent, it began downloading normally. I then stopped it and did a hash check which completed then I resumed download. Seems to work fine for me. Perhaps other staff members can try it, see if anyone else has a problem.

kluelos Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 I have had this happen to me before. Generally, wiping the download and starting over fixes it. So does changing to another client to finish the torrent, when that is feasible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranosb Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 I have now two torrents that are doing the same thing and wiping the download and starting over DOES NOT FIX IT AT ALL! No matter what I do, hash checking the file causes 50%+ CPU time with no percent increase in the hash check, it just keeps pushing the CPU. The only thing you can do is stop the HASH which freezes Bitcomet and you have to Cntrl-Alt-Del and kill the process... BIG BUG! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kluelos Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 ranosb, we do need the basic information from you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranosb Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 ranosb, we do need the basic information from you. 'You wanted me to be specific but you were not sir Using Bitcomet 1.29-history ugrades do not show any changes with hash checking Certain torrents won't hash check without crashing.

kluelos Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Ranosh, there is a "sticky" topic at the beginning of this forum, in bright red lettering, that says, "PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING". The bird links to it in his signature -- the one that says, "READ BEFORE POSTING"? You are supposed to read it before you post. It tells you what information you need to supply in your original post. Since you still haven't done that, you need to read that message and supply that information before it's possible to help you any further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranosb Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 1) What version of BitComet are you using? Bitcomet 1.29 2) What type of Internet connection do you have (ADSL, etc.)? Cable but that has nothing to do with a hash check which doesn't use the internet 3) Do you have a modem? Do you use a router? What make and model are each one of them? Have you forwarded your port? Dir-100 Router, Port forwarded, green light for WAN on Bitcomet, Motorola Sb5101u Modem 4) If you have more than one router, be sure to mention the make and model of both devices, how are they connected (i.e. in which connector of both devices is the network cable plugged) and which one of the devices is connected to or is the modem. Also, if you have more than one computer make sure to mention in this case, to which router is every one of them connected. Only 1 router modem theres nothing wrong with my internet connection 5) What version of Windows, Firewall and Antivirus do you use? WinXP Media Center, No firewall, No antivirus 6) If you are asking about a specific torrent or file that you have downloaded, make sure that you include the complete torrent name, as well as the complete names of the files and their respective extensions/formats (e.g.: .rar, .wma, .bin, .cue, etc.). Belly Of The Beast (2003) 720p BluRay x264-Japhson.torrent japhson-bellyofthebeast-720p.mkv Footloose (1984) 720p BluRay x264-Japhson.torrent japhson-footloose-720p.mkv The Phantom of the Opera at the Royal Albert Hall 2011 Part 1 720p BluRay x264-SAiMORNY.torrent The Phantom of the Opera at the Royal Albert Hall 2011 Part 1 720p BluRay x264-SAiMORNY.mkv 7) For speed-related issues, please run various speed tests at a site such as speedtest.net (make sure that no other computer is using your Internet connection and that all other programs - including BitComet - are closed, during the tests). Include the results, along with the settings that you are presently using, in your post, so that we may review and offer suggestions to improve its performance. Speedtest shows what my connection speed is, its not an internet problem, Hash check can be done OFFLINE has no effect on connection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranosb Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Why can't posts be edited?

kluelos Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 All three of your examples appear to be dead. Certainly they're all several months old, and the "Phantom" example seems old enough to have been scrolled off the rolls of trackers that were carrying it. Any particular reason you're still running XP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranosb Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 I just downloaded those like I mentioned and are seeding them! I had to use Bitspirit to successfully hash check them. Don't know where you got the torrents from. I'm using XP cause I use alot of programs that still don't run correctly in Win7. Neither of those two issues have anything to due with the intial topic...

kluelos Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 As you were told in the initial reply to your topic, We can report a bug if we can reproduce it. I suggest you provide the torrent and one of our staff can check it (time permitting). If we can confirm it, the data will be sent to development. You've yet to provide a torrent that we can obtain to test. To whatever extent the problem may be related to your OS, none of us run XP Media Center, so we can't rule an OS version-specific issue out. At this point you have an anecdote, nothing more. We are trying to turn it into a reproducible defect that can be reported and hopefully fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zcloco Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 i had the same problem with this particular torrent.. as attached not sure if it's really the torrent problem or bitcomet itself as i'm only using bitcomet version 1.32 os win 7 ultimate sp1 32-bit The.Muppets.2011.720p.BluRay.x264-SPARKS.torrent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
divingbirdie Posted April 22, 2012 Author Share Posted April 22, 2012 Hi. Unfortunately i ran into the same problem again. On this torrent. And since so many others have the same issue i think it's not an isolated case. Hope this bug can be fixed as right now the only way is to start downloading all over. I suspect this problem occurs when bitcomet is exitted abruptly while DL is in progress. I am not able to reproduce the problem everytime though hash check hangs.torrent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
divingbirdie Posted April 23, 2012 Author Share Posted April 23, 2012 my GOD....i redownloaded from scratch and upon completion it hangs at hash check again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The UnUsual Suspect Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Not sure if God is going to reply to you or not, but I'm willing to try the torrent in the meantime, however... it would be nice to have been given a torrent that isn't over 6gb to test with, unless you're saying it only happens with large torrents like this. It's downloading now, I'll reply and let you know what I find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vimanyu_b Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Hello, I used the latest Bitcomet available on the official website. I downloaded a few torrents (720p movies) and when they are completed the hask checking freezes at 0.2%. Whatever I do next crashes bitcomet. i've had this problem with several torrent files, and it's really annoying. Is there any solution for this?
