Comment (by soulspecter):
In section 4.3 we should probably make note that:
"BitTorrent Automatically Verifies File Integrity
If you use BitTorrent, any files you download are automatically validated.
If your file completes downloading you do not need to check it. Once you
Many BitTorrent clients (including Ktorrent) do not perform automatic
verification. They must be asked to check data integrity.
Are you certain about that? This is part of the BitTorrent protocol
itself AIUI, not the application level. The only want for *any*
BitTorrent client to know it got a correct, complete chunk is to check
the sha1sum for that chunk. Which means that, by definition, if you
have completed all chunks, your file has been automatically validated.
I think this text is correct as written.
That's correct. Any bittorrent client has to do this automatically. It
is a inherent property of the protocol.
