Question is above in subj., BitComet shows that download is completed, but the file is still *.bc!. It occurs not with all files, I cannot see any system, but, say every 3rd file.
I could not find the topic in the forum nor in FAQ, therefore posting the question here.
Many thanks, would appreciate advise or a link to a relevant topic.
Run a manual hash check on the torrent. This will usually either finalize the download and change the name, or find some corrupt pieces, get rid of them and redownload them.
There’s an option to do a hash check when a download completes, which I have enabled and I never have this issue arise. You may want to try that.
under Options → Advanced, there’s a setting, “bittorrent.hash_check_on_finished”. If you set that value to “True”, then when the task finishes it will perform a final hash check automatically for you. That assures that the whole torrent is OK and nothing slipped past.
