Music Not Playing when Download isn't complete

[greenespltd]

Is it possible to play what you have even though the entire torrent isn't finished being downloaded?

I tried playing the "Randy Rhoads - Page From My Diary" and the "Queensyrche - Hammersmith '84" bootlegs, and they don't work. The Randy Rhoads opens up with winamp (yes i did get the plugin) and it opens up, but doesn't play.

The Queensyrche bootleg opens up, plays 0.3 seconds and then it dies, and the "SEND ERROR REPORT" comes up.

Is this suppossed to be happenning??? Can I only listen to the file after the download completes?

PART 2 :

With the .FLAC files, should i worry about the fingerprint, or can I just ignore that?

I appreciate any help

No, not typically.

Mostly. It's used to make sure that the files you downloaded are the exact same files that the seeder uploaded. (a checksum of sorts)

So, there's nothing wrong with what i've got (files not playing when I've downloaded them)

Thanks.

This is the nature of BT. It will download bits and pieces of all the files throughout the download. It is done this way to help ensure that you don't snatch and run.

..shouldn't be anything wrong. it's best to download the whole thing and then seed for a while. i like to seed until my ratio is about 1.5%, or until someone else has the full show before i burn it. patience is a virtue! then i'll continue seeding for a while. :thumb:

This really requires Patience and Dicipline haha.
