MovedToGitHub/DownloadingUnwantedFiles
v1 v2 1 1 = Transmission is Downloading Files I Asked It To Not Download = 2 3 == Summary == 2 4 3 5 BitTorrent content is grouped into pieces that are typically somewhere between 64 KiB and 1 MiB in size. The .torrent file comes with a checksum for each piece, and every byte in that piece needs to be downloaded before the checksum can be compared for correctness. … … 6 8 7 9 This is what causes chunks of unwanted files to show up sometimes. Transmission only downloads the chunks needed to complete the piece and run the checksum tests. 10 11 == Future == 12 13 There is a [http://trac.transmissionbt.com/ticket/532 trac ticket] for this to collect all the unwanted fragments into a single file to avoid clutter.
