How can I avoid poisonous seeders?

Post by ionceturnedintoanewt »

Hi guys!

A lot of times I'm finding the most super recent releases of popular torrents for TV Shows/Movies/Games take A LOT of download errors. These get fixed after a check and I can continue downloading...but will crash almost immediately after resuming again. This, again, will always happens in super recent releases. If something has been released today, then I'm getting this problem. If I'm downloading something released a couple months ago, the problem goes away, and very seldom get errors. I have come to believe this is through poisonous seeders trying to send fake/garbage data that crashes the download and end returning an error in your file. Is there a way to counter for this? Any auto-recheck/auto-resume, or even better, taking note of which seeder provided the blocks that failed the download, to ban them from providing any further data after the check/resume?

Thanks!
