uber_tom Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Picture the scene, i have been downloading a rather large torrent (15GB) for the last week or so. There's a power outage and my system goes down, fsck runs at boot and BAM! the dam thing deletes my torrent status files or what have you, so essentially the data is still there but it doesn't show in azureus. it was on 96%, so if there is anyway to recover it i would be rather happy to hear it.

cooper Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Use the python client. Or probably any other one. What should happen, or at least is happening with, say, bittornado, is that the program sees the file, has the torrent with the checksums, and goes over the file to test which blocks are already in. Takes AGES, so if you're at, like, 10%, just kill the file and start over. At 90%+, let it compute hashes for a bit. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
take it take Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 15 GB? Were you downloading a season of TV shows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kateweb Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 re open the torrent file and point it to the same folder you did in the first place it will check the file and only download what you havent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uber_tom Posted November 22, 2006 Author Share Posted November 22, 2006 re open the torrent file and point it to the same folder you did in the first place it will check the file and only download what you haven’t. Thanks, that worked, it took ages to verify the data but that’s better than downloading it again. 15 GB? Were you downloading a season of TV shows? Almost, the star trek movies. In an entirely unrelated topic I often find myself wondering quite why I never get laid. I'm all happy now, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Toxie Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 I said yes, but only if you are alone, in a closet, under a blanket. If anyone sees you, you MUST punch them to prove you are still a "man" :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uber_tom Posted November 23, 2006 Author Share Posted November 23, 2006 Must every post descend into a debate on the rights and wrongs of copyright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaKo Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Yes, because we all know that the only way to alleviate the guilt about your own piracy is to point fingers at others for there crimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonlit Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 It was him! I never touched it! What do you mean, DVD+R? Never heard of them! ...I bet all these people pretending not to know anything about the web, I bet they're uber-pirates... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leetabix Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Well, I'm not sure how these arguments perpetuate really-at the end of the day, if you're in a country and break their laws (no matter whether you agree with them or not) you can't moan when you get nailed for it. You live in that country, therefore it's their balls, their game. If however, you're ok with breaking the law and you never get caught doing it, then it's only you that you have to answer for, no-one else. End of. Right, as to whether a real man can cry-yes, he can :). However, Chuck Norris makes a woman out of a man if he catches them crying. Chuck Norris never cries.
