Yea, this mobo doesn't support that. It does seem that the files for Qbittorrent, QB, has some serious issues. I got it to recheck them all and almost all of them had something QB detected that made it download them all again. I think it has checksums for chunks of a file as well as a checksum for the entire file. I figure it got a mismatch for the whole file and went to work. I wish I could have just let it find the bad chunks instead of the whole file. Some torrents are hard to get. I've ran fsck before mounting on every file system so far. I ran it on the OS file systems while booted from the Live image. The others I just did before mounting. I realize this doesn't mean the files themselves are OK but at least the file system under them is OK. I'm not sure how to know if any damage was done between when the memory stick failed and when I started the repair process. I could find the ones I copied from place to place and check them but other than watching every single video, I'm not sure how to know if one is bad or not. So far, thumbnails work. o_O If Amazon is going to get that memory here Friday, it better get a move on. It hasn't shipped yet. Amazon is bad to ship from warehouse to warehouse and get it close before actually shipping it with USPS, FedEx or something. It says Friday so it will likely be here Friday. I haven't had one late yet. Had them early tho. ;-) I actually paid for shipping on this one. I really should get prime. Come on memory sticks. :-D Dale :-) :-)
