I’m trying to download some mp4 files via qbittorrent but most of them don’t play. I have no reason to assume that the source is broken, is there perhaps something I am doing wrong or some way to fix it? I’m getting the “moov atom not found” error even though the file is at 100%. The whole torrent isn’t at 100% yet, but I enabled sequential downloading. It’s really big and I don’t want to download it all if it won’t work.

    Either the .mp4 is corrupt, or you need to wait for the torrent itself to finish 100% complete.

    You are downloading in sequential mode, and it sounds like these .mp4 files were generated with the moov atom at the end of the file. Which means the file is cut off at the very end (aka corrupt) or the torrent itself just never finished downloading the last pieces of that .mp4 file.

    At least that’s how I’m understanding your question… you’re saying the file is at 100% but you’re also saying the torrent isn’t at 100%, to me that sounds like there’s torrent pieces missing to complete the rest of the .mp4 file maybe.
