odd file extension?

Postby Tenshi no Ai » Thu Jun 08, 2006 10:00 am

Ok this is something I've just come across for the first time. A pic is attached to explain it better...

So what's up with that "bc!" extension? First time I've seen it and it's not something I can just remove or change from the file name (since it's not actually on there). But I need to do something because unlike the other files in the batch that work perfectly fine, this one doesn't work at all :/

So help is much appreciated^^

BitLord and BitComet use it for their incomplete downloads. It's really there, you are just hiding known extensions. Finish the download and it should work.

Hmmm I really did think that it completed the download... I guess I'll go find it again and see for myself^^

EDIT: Wow I feel dumb... didn't even notice RIGHT below the file name saying "Bitlord Incomplete Download" :/

You can't just stop at 100%, because it rounds up - wait until it says complete in BitLord.
