Okay another whine... sorry for being so whiny today but the frelling Azureus is pissing me off. Again.

Like of all the download clients I've tried it's like the least of all evils, but I swear some stuff just makes me wanna go find whoever designed that program and hit them on the head for all the retarded protocol dren they put in there. Like I'm still downloading Captain Planet, and like obviously there's lots of files, and I prioritize the episode I wanna download first and like I said in another whine for some reason Azureus doesn't pay much attention to priorities, and so if I really want it to finish downloading a certain file before all the others sometimes I have to resort to temporarily cancelling all the other files in the torrent. This time I only resorted to this when there was only one piece left because that frelling piece was stuck there for hours without progress even though it was available from like 22 peers. What the frell. Thing is when I have to temporarily cancel everything else, I have to uncancel it BEFORE it finishes downloading the last piece or otherwise I shall face the dire consequences in the form of the Evil Hash Check of Doom. Which:
* Slows all the other downloads down
* Slows the computer down
* Takes (read: wastes) a really long time especially with such large downloads
* Dumps all the pieces currently downloading, which is especially annoying with the big ass 4mb pieces (which you guessed it, is the case here) that take forever to download and some of them are like almost done or halfway through etc, GAAAHHHHH!!
* IS LIKE TOTALLY UNNECESSARY!! I mean like okay I get it when it has to do a hash check for like unfamiliar torrents like stuff that started downloading on another client or whatever, but why in all hells does it have to check a torrent that's already open!! It doesn't make any sense!!! Gah make it stop!!
And like I DID go and uncancel all the other files *just* before it finished that last piece, but then it dropped the piece at 255 blocks and of course frolicked away to other irrelevant pieces as if priority isn't supposed to mean anything. ONE BLOCK!! Is that too much to ask?? And like I know many times it drops the speed just before it finishes a piece but it doesn't really drop the piece, it finishes downloading it with the residual momentum or whatever. And sometimes it just drops a piece until it feels like picking it up again. So I waited for "residual momentum", and waited and waited but it just dropped the piece. So since it could stay like that forever waiting for that last block (which was available from 22 PEERS!!

) I had to go cancel all the other files again, but of course a tiny block that's available from so many peers downloads instantly (which is what this stupid program was supposed to do in the first place) and so I didn't have time to uncancel the rest of the files before it finished it. Hence the Evil Hash Check of Doom.
It's not the first time it happened unfortunately I've had this unnecessary craziness with other downloads before but so far I restrained myself from whining, but I've had it it's just PISSING ME OFF. STOP IT ALREADY!!!
