Torrent Problems

[Koto]

I'm downloading several movie files using ABC [Yet Another Bittorrent Client] 3.1. Now, all these files are downloaded into one folder, so it's one download file, though if I right click on the folder (in ABC) and go to Torrent Details (File Info tab), I can see all the different video files and can right click on any of them and go to Priority Setting and choose to "Download First". I did so with one of the files and it now says it has downloaded 100%. However, when I go to the folder on my computer and try to open the file it says "Failed to render the file". On top of this, the file is 0 bytes, however files that say they have downloaded 1% or so (the first few files in the folder) are over 200mb and supposedly finished downloading, however I cannot view these either. I don't want to download ALL the videos to be able to watch 1 or 2 as the file is over 17GB and doesn't download very fast (would take months to get all of it at the rate I'm going). Does anyone have any idea what I can do about this..? Any help would be much appreciated!!

Sometimes torrent programs cache disk space for the torrent, so even though it's 200mb, it's just 200mb of nothing.

As for your problem, it sounds to me like the program fucked up when it finished downloading the file and copying it over to the folder it's supposed to be in. Your only solutions would be totally re-downloading it, or if the d/l is broken into parts, try deleting a part of it and download that single part again and hopefully it won't fuck up copying over like it might've this time.

Well, it's a 17GB file of around 70 different video files. The program is saving the folder and the files contained onto my desktop. If I just open the folder and delete all the files I don't actually want to download and just leave the few I do want, would the file still continue to download ok? Or if I delete certain files, will ABC try and re-download those?

I tried deleting the ones I didn't want and then ABC started re-downloading them. Then I realized I can go to Priority Setting and choose "download never" -_-;
