chucker2002 Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 just wondering...i notice some downloads stop at a certain point and it is hard to find seeders..say if it was a movie file is it possible to play the incomplete file? or burn it to a cd for that matter? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The UnUsual Suspect Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 Bit Comet does have a function to play incomplete video files, but this is a far from perfect way to view video. As for burning them to disc, many dvd players cannot handle incomplete files, and might just freeze when they get to an incomplete frame. The best option is to get your movies from a reliable source, and avoid torrents that arn't seeded. Suspect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cassie Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 The same thing will happen with any other client, if nobody in the swarm has the entire torrent's content. If that doesn't help you, please read here and be explicit.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The UnUsual Suspect Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 There is many reasons why a torrent won't complete, in some cases the missing parts just aren't available. This is the most common and also the easiest to avoid. If you avoid torrents that aren't seeded you will rarely (if ever) have this problem. There are also some cases where some routers change the content of some pieces of data, forcing the client to discard it. This can usually be fixed by changing the settings in the problematic router. There are also cases where antivirus or security software detect a threat (real or false threat) and disable the suspected infection which will make the torrent never complete and the same piece/s will be downloaded over and over and get disabled each time.
