In the log I found

I/O errors
Comments:
Download pauzed
On check, the program did not pauze the actual download.

11 Errors, System can't find the specified file, section 05, 20 and 24 .... _ 4 GB part 2 and 3 course 023, 086, 024.mp4

At first glance the file happen to be ready for about 98%.
Then I forced an recheck, when done the download is only downloaded for about 88%.

At first I thought of wrong disc format FAT32 due to 4GB limitation, but the disc is NTFS formatted.
There's also no rights issues, otherwise all other downloads would have the same sort problem and the download would fail as well and that is not the case.
Short of space, not likely due to the fact that this particular torrentfile is currently the only file being downloaded, filesize is 6.84GB and available space is <10GB

So as it seems the file has been corrupted somehow.
The file has been removed (torrentfile and data) several times and re added from other sites, but still the same errors.
Searching on qBittorrent result in more files of the same (but renamed) file, the content being the same and those downloads also fail all with the same sort errors.
The only exception is the download of the zipped file with same name, but perhaps that does contain an virus of some sort ... so I'm a bit cautious.

Is there some sort of CRC check possible on the file, how can I tell?

Is it possible that the content of the specific torrentfile has been altered/renamed (somewhere during processess)?

I assume when the program starts, it compares actual filename and content of the torrentfile to be downloaded with the content and partnames already downloaded to the disc.
But somehow the content in that torrentfile does no longer seem to match with the content and/or partnames already downloaded to the disc.
Although the filesize may match, the filename doesn't anymore (after altering) and therefor corrupt.

Is that possible?

Is there a way to repair this?
