What happens to deleted files that are being seeded ?

Post by otyugh »

Hey,
I just saw that half of my seed where from files I deleted MONTHS ago.

Does it means that eventually I'm seeding faulty file parts ? Bittorent has ways of checking the integrity leech side of course, but doesn't that happen seed side too ? I'm under the impression that deluge only checks for file existence when it starts.

Does it means I'm wasting bandwith seeding and the leecher too for nothing ? Is there a reason why deluge isn't just telling me "error, file doesn't exist / file part corrupted" and stop sharing, then ?
