i download a torrent it will finish 100% , after i open the video it will not be full some pix problem and sound
and will skip 10 or even full video min, which mean the file is not fully downloaded

so i rehash and check and it will go down to 80-99% again , and so i start downloading again , and so on ..... till the end of time

but some time it will be 100% for real , some time never

Are you absolutely sure your drive isn't dying? :-\... Does your client (ABC) give any error messages? Try to download to an external/other drive to see if the problem persists even then...

Freedom Kira:
You mentioned this is also happening on your laptop running uTorrent. Does this mean you are running ABC on a different computer?

If both computers are on the same network, try taking your laptop and heading to a wireless hotspot or different network and download a torrent from there, and see if you get the same problem. If you don't, chances are your ISP or something on your network is messing with your torrent data (which would mean you are probably also sending bad data), and forcing encryption may help. I'm not sure if ABC has this feature, but uTorrent definitely does. It might also be something on your computer, but it would have to somehow be on both computers. If you want to check, borrow a friend's laptop and start up a torrent on it, but to be safe, don't log in to the BBT site.

Just to check, is this happening with torrents you get from other sites?

nawal:
will it may be my HDD , coz its on USB

i changed to save on  SATA drive now and will see how it will go

no erros from any client tho

Edit: this is not a new problem , i had this in BT from a long long time
but i never reach over 2gb extra d/l >.>

daveLovesIt:
I was gonna suggest a HDD problem too.

You could have ran a disk checking utilty, I would have done so ages ago with these symptoms. But trying a different drive as you are now amounts to the same thing.

Kira's tests are good for checking your router/route/computers don't have something funny going on.

If you mean the hash errors are not in line with your extra download then that might rule out the ISP thing. And, if it was a stolen key issue, that would in way explain the corrupted files.

Freedom Kira:
The disk being external makes little difference. If the drive is failing, the drive is failing, and the symptoms will be the same whether it is internal or external. Just saying that because I don't think you should avoid external hard drives for torrenting forever just because of this one incident.

If it turns out there are no problems on your internal drive, you might want to run a disk checker on your external, because I doubt any SMART status reported by the external drive ever makes it to the screen so you wouldn't be able to tell otherwise.
