Lots of broken downloads

I’m getting a lot of problems where stuff I download using Bitcomet is not working properly.

AVIs with corrupt sections. Downloaded programs that just give error messages when run.

Comment sections on the sites I picked the torrents from say the programs work fine on other peoples PCs.

Could there be something wrong at my end? How often do you get a download thats corrupt?

Could you please provide more detailed information (see my sig) and tell us who your ISP is (or if you’re using BitComet while at university/college/work)?

It is possible that you have a problem with your PC.

I suggest you run a complete hard drive scan (scan disc will do, be sure to do surface scan).

Also scanning for viruses, and spyware is always advised.

Also, be sure you have your client set to do a final hash check after completing. This step is not required, but will find and replace any pieces that are damaged by hard drive failure, or other cause.

After your scans are complete, and all your active torrents are complete, shut down all porgrams and do a full defrag of your hard drive.

Could you please provide more detailed information

Bitcomet 0.74

Windows XP SP2

Netgear DG834G

ISP is Entanet (UK)

I sugest you use bittcomet 0,70

Strange you should say that. The problems only started when I upgraded my PC, and installed 0.74

Previously I used 0.70

Is 0.74 not stable then?

Our download page clearly lists .70 as our latest STABLE release.

If you want to continue to use the new client, I would get the current version .77 (at this time).
