To those experienced in audio files

This may be off topic but I'm not sure where to post this lol. Anyways, so I'm downloading a 1.3TB file of music, and I noticed with some songs that are finished they cut out half way through the song, and start again at some later point. Almost like the data for that part of the song is missing. Does this just mean the file hasn't downloaded all the data for the song yet or is this DL bunk?

You are playing the files during download? Sounds plausible that there are missing segments. What client are you using? Assuming torrents, some of them let you prioritize certain files...you could prioritize a file which is playing with gaps and see if it is better a few minutes later. Could be a bad rip/recording, too.

Using Qtorrent. I told it to DL in order of files in the folder so it *should* all be there. Though it's 35% done now, and I would HATE to have to find a different torrent.

Forgot to check back on this. I use uTorrent and it lets me see file by file...if qTorrent lets you do that, you should be able to see if that file is all done.

Nope, not finding any settings like that sadly.

poking my head in here now...

unless we are talking about songs with licenses that allow them to be freely distributed on the internet via any means... i'll need to remind you of our stern anti piracy stance here.

I'm fairly certain the vast majority of these songs, to my knowledge, are fan remakes of game music put up for free that was just dumped into a mega DL

Anyways I'll just wait to see if it's missing data yet to be downloaded. Kind of sucks after spending $1k on my new audio equipment (oppo pm-3 + cambridge dacmagic plus) to have to deal with this lol.
