Can you explain what would have been happening in the week when everything looked OK but wasn't?
Corruption should not occur: the filename.torrent file contains checksums of the chunks of the intended download. As chunks get downloaded whose checksum do not match what is known in advance they should have, those chunks would get rejected. Perhaps the peers and seers feeding the old file would get rejected as corrupted. Or some thing of the sort, but the end result would not be corrupted. The download might (should) fail, of course, which is a nuisance. Downloading the new filename.torrent and restarting would get it corrected. It's a better protocol in this respect than ftp: I have used it to mend incorrect ftp downloads, for instance. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
