UTorrent download issues

Hello,

I am currently downloading with µtorrent and I have a little problem that I can't seem to solve.

Indeed, I am downloading a folder of 2.72GB, yet I have already downloaded 2.75GB and it only shows 60.5% completed...

I don't quite understand, and I'm afraid that some files might be hidden and contain viruses.

Since it is not finished downloading, I can't check on the website where I got it (by restarting the process to see the total content). However, it doesn't seem like I saw more than what was necessary in the details.

If any of you could enlighten me on the subject.

Thank you in advance

    It has happened to me before, I believe that these are bad data sent by bad people, but I don't think it contains viruses or spyware, it's just empty data (in my opinion) (have fun creating a text file, hold down the 0 key for 4 hours and you'll see the file size increase)
    anyway, in the end, I still managed to download what I wanted with 1 or 2 GB extra, but uTorrent bans the IPs that send you bad data.

    Alright, thank you very much.

    Furthermore, I downloaded the torrent from Snow Tiger, and indeed, I don't think there's a virus issue. It's a fairly reliable site.

    That said, the folder in question is "Alien Anthology," and 4 video files are displayed (normal) with sizes of 700, 700, 700, and 684, so nothing alarming. I don't see where the "bulky files" could be.

    It seems to me (but I don’t want to say anything stupid) that they are deleted by the torrent client once downloaded, and marked as bad. You should see in the details of the current torrent the size of the bad data.

    Hello,

    Stop it and force a recheck. You can see the rejected data in General, at the bottom right of the first window.

    Best regards

    Here, in the General tab, and then in Transfer, you have: Rejected: ... Mo (.. hash errors)
    So (I don't want to say something stupid ^^), I believe that the data is not on the hard drive but is counted in your total of Mo or Go downloaded from this torrent.

    Hoping to have answered your question.

    indeed: 10.5MB rejected (0 hash errors)

    regarding the overall status: 1.67GB out of 2.72GB

    I will patiently wait for everything to pass and be deleted correctly to get my movies

    thank you ;-)
