Torrent seems to be corrupted...


Hi,

I was downloading a 4.7GB iso file using BitTornado fine when I hit the max limit of my hard disk space.

The torrent had 100+ peers and 20+ seeders, and my download rate was going as high as 55KB/s. (I have a ISP max of 64 KB/s only)

It gave an error and a statement about "Not enough hard disk space" or something and stopped.

Naturally, I deleted excess files from my disk, and tried to resume my torrent download... BUT ~ this time round, the program found 0 peers / 0 seeders and it gives a RED light. The distributed copy is barely 1...

Is there some corrupted data/tracker somewhere, and if so, how do I repair my torrent so that I can resume?

I have no problems downloading torrents from other websites.

Hope you can help me, and thanks in advance.


Best Regards,

re-download the .torrent link and start again.

A torrent client should allocate itself all the space it needs before it starts to download so these problems shouldn't happen. Maybe BT doesn't do that? Azureus does.
