Try hash checking the files for starters. Do you have any cleaning programs that run at start up or shut down?

What do you mean by “hash checking”, because I am having the same problem? I just lost 50% of a program that is 2.05 GB.

it means when you check the hash you’re cheking that the flash is fully downloaded you might end up whith some trash from other users, and that’s why thay use hash cheking…

I got the similar problem like you after using BitComet 0.71, the file I downloaded was up to 50%+ yesterday and after I shutdown my PC and restarted today, I found the file was reset to about 21%+, it seems to be a bug in BitComet 0.71 !
after i installed v0.71 i have to manually hash check every time i restart bitcomet. otherwise my % goes from like 50% to 0.9%. but after manually hash checking it goes back to 50%.

A couple of things here. First, never just shut BC down because that leaves data in the cache in memory. 0.71 seems to have fixed this in addition to breaking many other things. Anyway you should stop all the .torrent files before just closeing BC if the download isn’t complete.
Now if you’re having trouble with 0.71 then you should just go back to 0.70. Just remember to send error reports if you can.

That sounds about right. BC is recovering the data left in the cache (memory) that was still active and not over written.
