Fixing Direct Downloaded Corrupted Zip Files of Torrents

One of the easiest ways to download a torrent is using a file fetching website like FileStream. But what do you do after downloading a 20GB game and get an error message like this when you try to extract the files?

You can use the recovery option in the WinRAR if the file can be open using WinRAR. But in this case I cant even open the file using the WinRAR. So what can we do now? Do you again download the file from the beginning? But that is a waste of time and money. Today, I will show you how to fix this very easily.

1) download and install uTorrent if you don't have it already.

2) Find the torrent that you have used.

3) You can either download the .torrent file and open it using uTorrent or you can use the magnet link to add the torrent to uTorrent.

4) Deselect all files except one file.

5) Start the download. This will create 2 files in the destination folder.

6) Stop the torrent and copy all files previously downloaded to this folder (make sure to double check the folder structure)

7) Select Files panel on uTorrent, Right click on previously deselected file and select Priority-> Low (Normal, High is also fine) You can select all files and do this operation also rather than doing this for every file.

8) Right click the torrent and select Force Re-Check.

This will re-check the downloaded files. It takes some time, so be patient.

9) After finishing the Re-Check, you can see the files which are not downloaded completely.

In this example, I am missing about 32MB. So instead of downloading 12.5 GB again, I can start the torrent and download the missing 32 MB without any problem thanks to uTorrent.

Hope this will help you save lots of time and money.
