Shareaza Problem

[Non Entity]

OK, so I'm downloading this movie using Bit Torrent through Shareaza. Apparently what Shareaza does is save the incomplete files to one directory until complete, and the complete files are moved into a different directory once completed.

It took me 5 days to download this movie, as it was more than 2 gigs, so I'd really like to get this problem solved instead of re-downloading the file.

HERE'S THE PROBLEM:

Naturally, I left my computer on day and night so the download could finish-- I logged on one morning to happily discover it was completed. I simultaneously discovered that I had managed to crash Shareaza in the middle of moving the completed file to it's "Complete" directory. So now I have one third of the .cue and .bin files I need to see the whole movie, and the completed file only exists as one of those crazy unreadable files that all P2Ps use until a file is done, except it's two gigabytes. If this helps, it's listed as a "TS-CENTROPY FILE".

I already tried re-opening the Torrent from the website but apparently the tracker is down or something stupid.

Is there any way for me to take that completed file and convert it into all the individual (.cue and .bin) files it comprises?

Thanks much!

unfortunately, i don't think it will work...

the only solution i can come up with is keep trying to reopen the torrent :-\

hey thanks, hopefully I can ..I dunno, work something out... this HAS to have happened to someone else before!

I think CPU may be right. Anyone have any idea?

if you read the post right he says he used shareaza. it an honest mistake not reading the whole post i have done it a few times

as much as i like shareaza.. i will not recommend the shareaza bittorrent to any1.. u should really use experimental version to resume it.. prolly only need to redownload 1 bin file

I have been using the shareaza bit torrent for a while, and it works grate. Just dont crash your computer, lol.

yeah.. my first reaction was to just re-open the Torrent from the website, but the damned tracker is down or something.

If you must know I was downloading this file:
Don't post files you downloaded/Are downloading.

and if you want to know the Torrent source, I got it from.suprnova.org in the movie section. Maybe my torrent client is messed up or something.. if someone could maybe try that link out and see if it works that'd be awesome..

and it's really annoying because I've only been able to watch the middle of the movie!!!

I didn't mention this before also, but there are TWO files in the incomplete folder. There's also a 987 KB .sd file of the same name (I don't know what kind of file that is). Maybe there's some program that could open up the SD file and finish moving and converting the raw file??

I think the main reason I use Shareaza instead of the basic client is because it just gives you more information about the download. How many sources, how much from who, and a pretty little download graph monitor window=)


any other help would be great.

Where isHawkburn to do his usual telling people off like he is a mod? He will be here to explain your mistake in a second...

For one thing Non Entity, you better remove the title of the copyrighted file from your post since its against forum policy.

and like i'm not already in a bad mood because I managed to get sunburnt - Suprnova is down. Seems to be connected to Sharelive being down.

Mind you, I remember me thinking it was the end of BitTorrent when all the sites went donw after releasing MR. This time it is probably T3. They will be back (said to myself as much as anyone else).

Suprnova was down most of yesterday but it came back up last night and I got 2 downloads through. It seems to be the nature of the torrent sites to play peek-a-boo once in a while.

lol - nicely put! Bytemonsoon is still working as well. Although I'm not interest in Amime or people spamming Porn, so its not all good!

hey--

real sorry about that slip-up with the file name. If suprnova is back up maybe I can get the torrent finally working.. but if not, if it just starts re-downloading, what am I gonna do then?
