Thread: Power Failure, Files Gone?

  1. #1
    i was trying to dl a 560 meg bin file and had about 20 megs left. the power went out and stopped all transfers of course. when i turned kazaa back on to resume dling the dat file was gone. i checked prior to turning kazaa on and the file was there. but gone when resumed. any ideas? i realize this file is gone but i would like to know what caused it to disappear so as to not have to restart dl if i stop them.

    crashing and things of that nature will corrupt the dat files and klite deletes corrupt dat files

    Try data recovery software like EnCase, but since the file was being written to at the moment of the failure, I doubt you'll get anything.

    Get an IPS system or at least a mini-generator with enough power to give you five seconds of delay.
