Incomplete Download is actually complete?

I looked through the FAQs and stickies and didn’t see anything relevant, so I’m posting…

Last night I was downloading a torrent that is 5.61gb. I get up this morning to find that the client has “Closed because of an unknown error.” I check the file and it is at 5.61gb. I open BitComet and it’s still at 7% total download. I left it running while at work, but is BitComent correct that even though it’s at 5.61gb out of 5.61gb, its still only 7% complete?

Depending on your settings BitComet will allocate the needed file size. So even though the file isn’t compleate when you look at it the file will be the full size. This is the make sure you don’t run out of disk space. If you’re worried or wondering about the progress stop the .torrent and run a hash check on it.
