I am using win XP, and and this is my very first time using BC 0.7.
I was downloading an anime episode, which file size is 200MB totally.
The progress of this file was 25%, so I should be able to preview 50MB of it.
The preview media player download info showed me the download bufferring is 35KB per second.
I had waited for an hour long, but was unable to watch anything. :blink:
… any ideas? :blink:

don’t preview your download. if i understand the way torrents downloading works, you get bits and pieces from everyone so you don’t always get them in order, so you have 25% but it might be 3 minutes of the beginning some of the middle and some of the end. you would have a better chance of previewing if you wait till say 90%complete but it is usually better to just wait till its done.
If you’re previewing for quality purposes, don’t use the built-in previewer. Instead use the free VLC player from Videolan.org. It’s very good about incomplete files, and will view most, but not all filetypes. I use it as my main file viewer, and rarely use anything else.

Right, the preview option didn’t help a lot.
I had waited for another two hrs, but was only able to have a 8 seconds long preview,
and then BC stopped response.
I had to restart my PC.

Are you sure VLC can preview imcomplete files?
The extension for those imcomplete files is of .bc,
I wonder if VLC can really work for me!

I also use VLC for previewing incomplete stuff… it’s good any computer could have it cas it’s freeeware, and is able to open many media files very good…
