Appaerrant loss of download

[shaynene11]

Just lately, when I have begun seeding a file, the file seems to decrees in size. IE, 100% to 68%. I always seed my files for a while at least after downloading them. this has only begun in the last week.

Any ideas?

The "READ THIS before posting" topic is there to help you, not to help us, so by ignoring it, we can only make guesses at what you may have on your system.

So, for a guess, I'll tell you that this is most often happening when an antivirus or security program deletes, alters or moves a part of the download, making it fail hashcheck and requiring the download to be restarted. Many non-malicious downloads are detected this way simply because they may contain what anti-virus software consider "potentially unwanted programs", which include hack tools, keygens, cracks, patches ect.

This also could be a sign of a harddrive and/or file system error. If a weak or failing sector of the harddrive is used for one of the files, it may become damaged and therefore fail hash check.

Hope this helps
