how could the percent be at 96%, the total received be at 771, and the total size be at 700? ive received more than the total size :blink: and it says 96% :rolleyes:
can someone please explain this?
Not everything you download is useable. Your client checks this and discards bad or unnecessary data. I use Azureus and this shows me how much of the downloaded data has been discarded.
Every download I have done has had more data downloaded than the filesize.
I should stick with it and see if your download completes in %age terms.
I am not familiar with your client but there may be a record somewhere within its options which gives you more info on this.
I think it's quite normal although the amount discarded does look a bit high.
One last thought - I seem to experience more discarded data as I approach the end of a download.
hmm so why is it discarded?Quote:

Glad it worked and welcome to the wonderful (if slightly flaky) world of Bittorrents!
