Single Part failing and Redownloads continously.

[Siendra]

I've had this problem on the last four or five torrents I'v downloaded from BakaBT. Basically one piece of one episode will continuously fail hash check and redownload. This has lead to thing like my having downloaded 10GB of a 5.4GB torrent, which is obviously doing some harsh things to my ratio. It's only happening with torrents from BakaBT, but this is also the only place I get particularly large torrents from.

I'm using Bittornado 3.17 (I prefer "light" apps). I have tried other clients which complete the downloads without a hitch, but so does closing and restarting Bittornado. :/

Help, please.

1) do you have enough disk space?
2) is it one particular client sending you bad data?
3) what torrent?

1. More than enough.
2. Hmm. I wouldn't think so. It has happened multiple times and I don't think it would persist to the tune of several GB worth of extra traffic.
3. It has happened on Chrono/Chrno Crusade (Atw0), Full Metal Panic (BluDragon) (2002), Queen's Blade: Rurou no Senshi (SFW), Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu - (KAA), and Martian Successor Nadesico Remastered (SSP) so far.

Switch to uTorrent and see if it persists.

That was my plan going forward. Guess it was too much to hope for a "You idiot, uncheck _________" solution. Oh well.

Thanks, Psyren.

Having used BitTornado before, I can't think of what might be causing that other than a faulty disk/peers.

Tried filing a bug report for BitTornado, or checking on their forums? If it's a problem, I'm sure the devs will want to know about it.

The forums are pretty dead and it's been 3 years since an update to the client, so no - I didn't bother.
