Hi,

I have a 99% complete file download and it seems like it will never end because there are no more seeds and one or two leeches.

Now I want to flush all that data from my disk, and I know it's there somewhere but not in the destination folder I specified for the download, also it has to be somewhere because whenever I restart the download there is the same 99% completion.....

Can someone tell me what to do and also what is the folder in which temporary download data is stored ?

Thanks a lot !!!

All the complete peices are stored in the same place you are downloading too. There is no need to flush to disk.

I got a question connecting to this one, if I want to restart an torrent with externally added files?

lets say I'm getting 22 episodes or files in a torrent.

then I dl the files singularly from another soft to a temp dir.... lets say 5 eps.

so now I got 5 Eps in one folder, and ongoing 22 in another...

old client would check em all then proceed.... with 5 new eps added to the 22
total

so question is, "How do I start ShadowBT without fast resume?"
I got Very fast drives so a 50GB resume is only a few min at worst

Bittornado should recognize the changes and rehash automatically. You can force a rehash if you delete the resumedata of the torrent. You can find the resumedata in "C:\documents and settings\username\application data\.bittornado\datacache\" on XP/2K or ".bittornado\datacache\" in you bittornado program folder. The files are named after the info_hash of the torrents.
Don't forget "finish allocation" (or use preallocate) and keep a copy of your external files, if they aren't identical bittornado will try to redownload them.

Thank you very much, I will automate a script for wiping that intel for me.

Why finnish allocation?
I usually never do that unless it is alot of files in the torrent.
