Bittorrent

[Robert Dege]

>From the BitTorrent FAQ (http://bitconjurer.org/BitTorrent/FAQ.html):

When I look at the file it's already full size but it's garbled and BT
says it's still downloading, what's going on?

BitTorrent pre-allocates the entire file when your download begins,
then writes in pieces in random order as it gets them. As a result the
file jumps to its full size immediately. BitTorrent will tell you when the
download is complete.
