I've been running into a weird problem lately, where the is a single part in a torrent that no matter how many times I download gets flagged as corrupt. Based on my expirience with an identical problem I was having in emule, disabling corruption checking should allow me to get the rest of the file with no problem, but the Shadow's client doesn't seem to have an option for doing this...

seeming you have the same prob at 2 seperate programs, i'd say the problem is somewhere else, why not atk the root instead of having someone code stuff just cuz u hardware is bad

Corruption is caused by either bad RAM or other bad hardware in a system, or a bad DLL somewhere (I haven't been able to track it down). Disabling torrent corruption checking will result in your uploading bad data into the torrent, which will get you banned from some peers and will spoil much more data than the amount you upload. Please fix your problem some other way aside from ignoring it.

Well, I'd love to get this issue sorted out, but I really don't know where to start. I am reasonably sure my problem isn't a hardware issue since no other programs seem to be affected in any way, and my hard drives passed a thorough testing. Plus the problem never seems to affect more than one part per file, which is IMO much to consistant behavior for a hardware issue. Plus as I stated before, in emule when I forced it to accept the data, it checked out as good when the file completed. This wouldn't have happened if the problem was anything other than the program itself making the mistake. As to what the root of the mistake is, your guesss is as good as mine. The only thing I can think of, is if there are aware of any conflicts that may exist between bittorrent and protowall, since I started using protowall around the time the porblem started, that could be it. That could also explain why emule is having trouble too, since protowall is blocking packets at the driver level which is something a program may not typicall account for.

Opps. Above post was mine, but I forgot to enter the name...
