"Problem with BitTorrent" , posted Mon 7 Apr 15:17

Don't know if it has to do with BitTorrent or the file though, it seems the file to me, that's why I'm asking:
I wanted to continue downloading Keep-ANBU's Wolf's Rain 1st episode, and when it was checking the file, my computer restarted all alone by itself. I've tried a few times more all with the same result (except one that blocked it instead of restarting). I've tried cancelling and continuing other 2 files and nothing's gone wrong...

Try running scandisk.

Also, are you resuming the file by going to the place you downloaded it from, selecting it, and then selecting the partial file for overwrite?

I remember having problems resuming the file by just double clicking it.

Me too.Try resuming the file by "saving as" again.

Total frustration.

Get Norton or some other virus scanner instead.

freakin' scandisk. it's one of the few programs that goes backwards in percentage. (seriously, the piece of shit does this.) and i think it's standard procedure to stay stuck on 10% for 12 hours. moved the mouse by accident? no prob! "Disk contents have changed. Resetting." OR WHATEVER SICKENING ERROR MESSAGE IT GIVES YOU. i hate scandisk

The only true purpose for ScanDisk any more is to prepare a Windows system for a defrag. Scandisk will not solve this sort of problem and neither will defrag (it's really just a sort of hard drive tune-up that gets your hard drive back up to its maximum speed), so running Scandisk is pretty pointless. Personally, I think you should try running Ad-Aware and a free trial of Sophos Anti-Virus software (or whatever your anti-virus software or free trial of choice is) and see if that gets rid of your problem.

You could also try re-installing BitTorrent, but I really don't think that BitTorrent is the problem here. Instant automatic reboots aren't usually a problem with some little piece of softare. It's probably a piece of spyware that got installed on your computer or maybe a virus. If it starts rebooting at other times or having trouble booting up or shutting down, then it might be a problem with your power supply. A faulty power supply drove me nuts for about a month awhile back.

If you're using LinkSys or Alcatel equipment, it could be the drivers that cause BitTorrent (& some other programs) to reboot. The BitTorrent FAQ has links to fixed drivers: http://www.bitconjurer.org/BitTorrent/FAQ.html

Scandisk searches the disk for bad sectors. To avoid the restart thing make sure you've disabled any program that might access the drive and don't do anything else until it is finished. (This includes screensavers, but not monitor shutdown)

If nothing is wrong with your disk then scandisk won't change anything.

If you are looking for a way to speed up your harddrive then defragment it. That will actually rearange the disk so that files load faster.

Be kind to goblins.

I've done it this way every time.

Scandisk doesn`t do anything. I'll try the antivirus today, thx for the advice. I'd tried it only in the avi file to see if it was corrupted, but not globally. Antiviral Toolkit Pro should be enough?
