I don't think this is hard drive problem - same sectors that kept zeros first time are keeping valid data after forced recheck and redownload. When I force recheck and finish download second time all those zeros filled up with data that were missing first time. When utorrent finish download first time there are dumps of zeros in files among the actual data. I do use pre-allocation and zero filling when starting torrent download. After that I started torrent and downloaded more than 10GB missing parts surprisingly the second download finished without any missing parts - that is when I 'forced recheck' again the torrent was reported 100% complete.

Without going anywhere, once I noticed that download complete and I am seeding, I selected 'forced recheck' and after couple of hours of rechecking 21.1GB utorrent reported I have 30.9% complete. Also I had more than 10 active torrents for seeding, I don't know if that matters. There is no problem with any one random file as I said before you have to download bunch of files like you do when downloading VIDEO_TS or BDMV folders. My Windows 2000 and other installed software do not generate any thumbnails and my player doesn't alter media files in any way. No, I don't use solid state drive (if that is what you mean by SSD). has anyone else seen this, or is there something I'm missing in terms of accepting bad pieces, or ignoring failed hashes? I'm seeing this more and more with both my public and private sites. I found another series of files (Season 20 of the Simpsons), - from a private site) - again, only 80% was downloaded, despite it actually seeding back. I then tried to download it again, and noticed that the file was only 75% complete, and looking at the pieces available, it looked like I had missed every 17th spite utorrent telling me it was complete, and actually seeding it. I tried a variety of things, recopied, local playback versus network, even played on local pc with media player - same thing. I'm playing these files through a hardware media player.

The frame would then skip, and catch up to the audio. I recently discovered a movie that I downloaded was skipping fairly rthymically (ie, every 20 seconds), and it would pause, but the audio would play.

I'm using utorrent 2.0 great bandwidth, no problems with firewalls, or sharing ratios with any of my favourite sites.
