Torrents - Please explain...

[starrylizard]

I know other people torrent things on a regular basis and I understand the basis of how the things work.

However, I'm currently trying to torrent a file that's supposedly 700.69mb.

So far I have (according to BitLord) downloaded 975.02mb and (again according to BitLord) still need to download 3.75mb and I've dled 99.4% of the file. (I've uploaded 689.28mb)

Excuse me , but huh?

Am I missing something here? Why have I downloaded 274.33mb more than the file size and it's still going? I'm so confused. :(

I wanna watch it! *pouts*

A useful utility for file fixing is Divfix - pretty sure that's the one I used last time I needed it.

Oh and you can tell I've been thinking on Chuck Campbell too much because I wrote chucks rather than chunks above. Eek, so many typos!

Cool! I'll keep it in mind in case I have the problem again. :)
Thanks!
