I'm currently downloading Final Fantasy 7: Advent Children. The file size is reported as 700.16 megabytes on the torrent site as well as in the bit torrent client. Yet, I've downloaded well over 700 megs and it still only shows the download as being at 43%. I've checked out other torrent sites offering the same torrent file and they also report the file size as being 700.16 megs. Any ideas?
"What are these "a piece has failed an hash check" messages?
Bittorrent clients check the data they receive for integrity. When a piece fails this check it is automatically re-downloaded. Occasional hash fails are a common occurrence, and you shouldn't worry.
Some clients have an (advanced) option/preference to 'kick/ban clients that send you bad data' or similar. It should be turned on, since it makes sure that if a peer repeatedly sends you pieces that fail the hash check it will be ignored in the future.
The torrent is supposed to be 100MB. How come I downloaded 120MB?
See the hash fails topic. If your client receives bad data it will have to redownload it, therefore the total downloaded may be larger than the torrent size. Make sure the "kick/ban" option is turned on to minimize the extra downloads."
