Re: Getting a strange error message in my torrent

That's a weird one.

I googled it and got this link - http://www.azureuswiki.com/index.php...ngth_too_large :

On some systems you might get a warning like Data missing: Existing data file length too large [2255>2211] or Error: Existing data file length too large [1265215204>1264175648] — this is how you fix it:
  1. (optional step) Make a backup copy of the affected data file(s). Beware that if more than one file in the torrent has this problem, you will need to back these files up too, even if you do not know what the files are. Therefore you can back up the whole torrent instead if you have doubts.
  2. Stop the affected torrent
  3. Go to Tools > Options > Mode . Select "Intermediate"
  4. Go to Tools > Options > Files
  5. Enable the Truncate existing files that are too large option
  6. Click the Save button
  7. Force-Recheck the torrent
  8. Start it
This should fix it — if not, come to the IRC channel.
