The UnUsual Suspect Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 This usually only happens if your having write errors or corrupt files on your hard drive. I would recommend you reboot your computer, then do a manual rehash of the files. If your system is sound, this should correct the problem, but I also recommend doing a full virus scan with a good a/v, as well as a few anti spyware scans. Then run scandisc (full scan), or another good hard drive scanning program. If your torrent stays at this level for a long time, and there are lots of seeders listed by your tracker, then you may have a "bad" torrent... http://www.azureuswiki.com/index.php/Bad_torrents Suspect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kluelos Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Stop the torrent, right-click on it, and select hash-check from the menu. But first be certain that wasn't what was already happening. When Bittorrent clients get interrupted without being shut down properly, they'll begin hash-checking their torrents first thing when they resume, to make sure nothing was clobbered in the shutdown. A hash check is slow, and it looks an awful lot like downloading. You have to look at the status column to notice that it's doing a hash check. It starts from zero and counts upwards, in the "% downloaded" column, as its checking the file. As said, hash checking is quite slow. So somebody may see it in mid-check, and it looks like it has downloaded less than you remember, when it simply hasn't finished the check yet.

The UnUsual Suspect Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 here is a link that will answer any question you can think of... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bittorrent a hash check confirms that all pieces are downloaded and not corrupt.
