ya know, in all these years i've never thought of verifying the files but now i am and of course the first ones i did from a show i DL'd earlier last week furnished me with this;

And that is from a show you downloaded after the drop and fix? What happens if you start the torrent again? Assuming all the files in the torrent are OK (take a quick look at the thread and make sure no one is reporting that there are problems), and assuming those files are hosed, then the torrent should start again and 'fix' the files. If instead your torrent client thinks you are all done and the files are fine, then you have some issues with your computer, not with the torrent software/files.
