I’m trying to download some mp4 files via qbittorrent but most of them don’t play. I have no reason to assume that the source is broken, is there perhaps something I am doing wrong or some way to fix it? I’m getting the “moov atom not found” error even though the file is at 100%. The whole torrent isn’t at 100% yet, but I enabled sequential downloading. It’s really big and I don’t want to download it all if it won’t work.
The most likely situation is that the torrent isn’t good. I would also force a recheck of the torrent to double-check that the files on your disk haven’t been corrupted. But if that file is still saying “0 B” remaining (don’t just look at 100% as it may be rounded) after the recheck then I would bet pretty good money on a broken torrent. If this is a public tracker it is fairly common.
However even if it is broken you may be able to play by using a different players. Different apps can skip over different forms of corruption, so you may get lucky.
that’s what I’ve been scared of. couldn’t find a torrent for these videos anywhere else. maybe I’ll have to look for a private tracker or something. thanks for the advice, I’ll try some other players.
