Closing BitComet

Afrow_UK · July 13, 2006, 2:08pm

Lets say a task has got from 0% to 55% while BitComet has been running, then I shut down the computer. When I open BitComet again, the task says it’s at 0%. However, when I start the task again it suddenly jumps to 55% which is where it was.

It only started this in 0.69 but never happened in 0.68.

It only happens if BitComet is closed by Windows due to a shut down operation. If I close the program myself, it saves the % download completion value.

Hope that helps.

That’s because tasks’ progress is stored in “Downloads.xml” file in your BitComet directory (usually, C:\Program Files\BitComet"). Looks like BitComet saves this file only on normal closing; maybe this should be done more often.

Well, like I said it worked before but now it doesn’t. So I guess this problem was introduced as a result from another bug fix perhaps.
