Corrupt files -help please!

[talia]

hello, I'm a new member here.

Well, i just wanted to ask a question that i've been wondering about for a while now and it's very frustrating so i was hoping someone could give me advice on how to solve it.

When I'm downloding a torrent, certain files on it ,after download is complete, don't want to play. It tells me that file may be corrupt and is unable to play it. :(

Why does this happen? And how can i stop this from occuring?... it's very annoying because i spend alot of time waiting for the download to complete, only to find out in the end that i cant play it.

Please help...

Thank you.

there are 2 possible cause that can't play...

1.what u downloaded? is a audio or video....!! Maybe your system didn't support format of video or audio u downloaded. Try to download codecs pack from http://free-codecs.com

2. it sure be 100% after ur file finish downloaded. Then try to disable it and set priority again... it sure be drop to 99% something... then download it again until it reach to 100% again (It works after I try it, NO SURE works on ur file or not) ... may be ur file contains some bad data...

If both also can't help u...then you have to re-download it again

Ok, first you don't try to play a file unless its 100% downloaded/complete. Why don't you tell us the file name with the extension.

Talia,

We will need more information to help you further. At very least, the full file name, as Dark Shroud has asked.

I also suggest you provide a link to where you downloaded the torrent as well.
