madangrg Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Hello, lately I have been experiencing this weird thing happening to my bitcomet downloaded files. FILE EXTENSIONS ARE MISSING ! But I do make some wild guesses and perform some heat and trial methods to figure out the extensions and add them to the files and eventually able to work with them. I just open the torrent via BitComet and won't change anything on the file/folder names. I just click the Download now button and wait before it is done. When I go to check the files most of the time extensions are missing. Then I try to add .pdf, .rar, .zip and work with them accordingly and find the files are intact and good to work with. I have also updated BitComet to the latest version available. Thanks. :( 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The UnUsual Suspect Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 If you're using magnet links, try downloading the torrent files instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve1957 Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 I have found the same problem and it appears as you said Usual Suspect to be linked with downloading using magnetic links. This was not a problem with earlier versions of BitComet. I hope it can be fixed in future versions. I am having problems with my version of BitComet downloading torrent file so have to use magnetic links. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The UnUsual Suspect Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 If you read in the forum you'll notice that one of our staff members was able to determine the problem occurs when you start the download before bitcomet finishes getting the torrent from the magnet links. I tried many times to reproduce the error but was unable, but by waiting a few seconds to allow the process to work you should be able to avoid this. I suspect this issue occurs more often on slower internet connections or ones that are "busy" when quarrying the file names is occurring. All this info has been posted in the forum at least a dozen times and could have been found in a manner of seconds by doing a search. ps. Thank you for the update Queeniequ, it will be nice to have this minor bug finally fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordGreyStork Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 I was assuming this was not fixed because I clicked on help>check for updates and I was told I am running the most current version, however i KNOW i was not as I just saw that v1.40 and I was running v1.35 !!! So if this is still not working for anyone, you might try a manual d/l of a new version! thanks for the bug fix! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
