Torrent help.

Hi.
Im find that when im download torrents at the moment, that they are completing, erroring that they cant access the file to hash it, then it'll start again at some random percentage.
It'll do this over and over.
Rarther annoying when ive waited hours for a distro to come down.

Anyone got any ideas on this strange problem?

Tried a different client? Which client are you using?
Some support a force re-check, have you tried that?

Might be worth looking > http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/

Maybe here too http://support.bittorrent.com/faq/bittorrent-concepts

As suggested, try a different client and see if that helps.

Im wondering they are corrupting when going to my NAS, as they download to there?

Ive set them to download to a local drive now, see how that goes.

chkdsk?

I set the NAS to do a chkdsk, and it came back as being fine?
I know that my actual connection to my switch has been funny lately, sometimes bizzarly dropping to 100mbps? Perhaps thats the cause?

Can you not download to the local machine, then once the download is completed move it to the NAS. If I understand correctly. Eliminates the saving directly to NAS as a reason for the problem.
