Help - File stays in "completing" status ??

[billanben]

Every now and then this happens, the latest is Knetter (Grr). The file says "completing (hashing)" then goes to "completing" and that is as far as it goes. I can download normally and nothing affected EXCEPT :-

1. I can play the file from its current location - no problem there.

2. If I try to move it, it starts to move, then stops and fails with IO Device error.

3. If I rename the .part to .avi, I still cannot move it.

4. When happened before, no choice but to delete it and re-download.

My question therefore is, has anyone else had this and if so what was the solution (if any) ? I will leave it where it is for now and see if I get any answers.

I CAN make a copy on its own drive (a USB drive) but when I come to move it to another drive - no way. I am suspecting it is corrupt and/or sitting on a bad sector.

Thanks for all who help.

Try monitoring the temperature and health of your drive.
