Well what do you know? Another amazing movie from Sergio Leone. The Good, The Bad and the Ugly has so much good about it, and quintessentially it is one of the best westerns ever made. There may be nothing new about the story at first glance, but that's the point, Leone is paying homage to the Hollywood western, and despite the initial simplicity there is also a complexity mainly in the film's characters. Regardless of whether simple or complex it is, The Good, The Bad and the Ugly does have a compelling and brilliantly written story.But there are other assets that make The Good, The Bad and the Ugly so good. The dialogue is always excellent, while Leone's direction is superb once again. The characters are great and are superbly played. Clint Eastwood gives one of his best performances ever here, and Eli Wallach is perfectly cast and more than a match for him. I was also very impressed with Lee Van Cleef, who I recognised from High Noon and such, but he makes a bigger impression here. The Good, The Bad and the Ugly is also the most violent of the trilogy, and one of the most violent of the genre, not a bad thing whatsoever.The pace was spot on too, even though the film is nearly three hours long, it is never boring or dull. The best things though about The Good, The Bad and the Ugly are the visuals and Ennio Morricone's score. The film looks amazing, the cinematography is gorgeous and the sweeping images and scenery are very lovingly crafted. Morricone's score is even more impressive than that, it is simply one of the best film scores I've ever heard, and if I had to say which was Morricone's best score, I would immediately say this.Overall, there is nothing bad or ugly about the film. The film is amazing. 10/10 Bethany Cox
I recently discovered a movie that I downloaded was skipping fairly rthymically (ie, every 20 seconds), and it would pause, but the audio would play. The frame would then skip, and catch up to the audio. I'm playing these files through a hardware media player. I tried a variety of things, recopied, local playback versus network, even played on local pc with media player - same thing. I then tried to download it again, and noticed that the file was only 75% complete, and looking at the pieces available, it looked like I had missed every 17th piece...despite utorrent telling me it was complete, and actually seeding it. I found another series of files (Season 20 of the Simpsons), - from a private site) - again, only 80% was downloaded, despite it actually seeding back.... has anyone else seen this, or is there something I'm missing in terms of accepting bad pieces, or ignoring failed hashes? I'm seeing this more and more with both my public and private sites.

I had this problem with utorrent 2.2. I just updated to 2.2.1 build 25110, so I don't know if this problem still exist. Only torrents with multiple files were affected though; torrents with few files and without directories were fine. I noticed it when I downloaded two CDs in flac: one was single CD image in flac and cue sheet and it was fine; another CD was set of tracks in flac and cue sheet as well as some artwork and this one had zeros in some files. Same story with VIDEO_TS and blue-ray rips: normally after forced recheck it says 60 to 70 percent complete and downloads missing parts. Forced recheck solves the problem however I don't think this is elegant solution. It's kinda weird to recheck every torrent once it is reported as 100% downloaded.
Yeah, same problem with utorrent 2.2.1 build 25100. Just downloaded 21.1GB blue ray BDMV folder, almost 10GB of data are missing on hard disk (just pre-allocated zero strips in stream files periodically) despite the fact that I am seeding it and it is 100% complete. Looks like files are not flushed to disk time to time. Too bad nobody seems to care.
No, I don't use solid state drive (if that is what you mean by SSD). My Windows 2000 and other installed software do not generate any thumbnails and my player doesn't alter media files in any way. There is no problem with any one random file; as I said before you have to download bunch of files like you do when downloading VIDEO_TS or BDMV folders. Also I had more than 10 active torrents for seeding, I don't know if that matters. Without going anywhere, once I noticed that download complete and I am seeding, I selected "forced recheck" and after couple of hours of rechecking 21.1GB utorrent reported I have 30.9% complete. After that I started torrent and downloaded more than 10GB missing parts; surprisingly the second download finished without any missing parts - that is when I "forced recheck" again the torrent was reported 100% complete.
I do use pre-allocation and zero filling when starting torrent download. When utorrent finish download first time there are dumps of zeros in files among the actual data. When I force recheck and finish download second time all those zeros filled up with data that were missing first time. I don't think this is hard drive problem - same sectors that kept zeros first time are keeping valid data after forced recheck and redownload.
Yes, my computer is 750MHz P3, how do you know? Yes, it would probably take 5 minutes to check 5GB torrent in lab environment or with very popular local download. In my real case there is a few seeds around the globe. There is nothing wrong with my PC and I don't care how long it takes to recheck. The problem is with data not to be written to the hard drive sometimes. Actually, after reading this board I knew the problem is with my PC or anything but utorrent.
For example: You have no idea how annoying it is to download a torrent, and when you go to watch it, all the sudden it starts skipping and whatnot. Have to go through your huge list of downloaded torrents (so you can keep track if you missed an episode or something), start the download from scratch (because you've moved it out of the folder some idiot put it in so they could include their .nfo file or whatever because god forbid they just put their group name in the file name), move your mostly completed version of the file into that folder, rename it so that it utorrent recognizes it as the fresh file so you can do a "Force Recheck" and not have to download the whole damn thing again, finish downloading the last 2 percent of it, and then move it right back out of it's own little folder, all before you can watch a show.
So can we get serious with the troubleshooting please? Because I'm at the point that I have to force recheck every file before I do any of the above. Plus, and this is a big plus, there's PROBABLY something wrong with utorrent that is causing this. I tried what someone suggested earlier, and found a file that didn't download completely before I ever touched it with windows or any other program.
Bitcomet does not leave "trash files", but if u then select some other files to download, u will have to re-download the pieces that bind them again, in utorrent if u do that the .dat file give the new file the piece that was binding them together, so it doesnt waste data, in bitcomet it just wastes it.
The most clever scene in Coyote Ugly is when Maria Bello explains why the bar is named what it is. She says it's when a woman wakes up in bed with a man after a one night stand and he's so ugly, but you have your arm around him because last night he seemed hot. Desperate, but not wanting to be rude, instead of pulling your arm out from under him you try to chew it off like a trapped coyote. That my friends, is Coyote Ugly.It was much to my surprise that Kevin Smith actually did a rewrite of the film's script at one point. I would imagine if Smith's version was made into the final film that it would be less about the girl's bodies and more about their problems. Instead of so many overhead shots of women dancing on one another, soaked in water, comparing wet t-shirts, I'm sure there would've been more sincere dialog between Violet and her friends. Maybe we would've gotten to know them better. It's all one big "maybe." The film centers around Violet (Perabo), an aspiring songwriter trying to make it in the complicated and relentless world of music. She tries to get her demo tape heard, but is always met with reps that blow her off. Violet leaves home and goes to New York to try her look, but realizing she needs to make end's meet, she goes to work at a bar called "Coyote Ugly" where she will entertain customers by seductively dancing on the bar countertop while pouring drinks and showering her and her fellow employees with water. That's the extent of it.In the meantime, Violet dates a shady guy who she had mistaken for a record exec (Garcia). Let me ask Violet, do you think it's a good idea to date a guy who just tried to pass himself off as a guy who could get you a record deal and doesn't discuss any of his past? Does he seem like the dream guy mothers would want their daughters to date, and could have a good ol' day out with the father? I neglected to mention that the club is run by Lil (Bello). Lil, full name Liliana Lovell, actually runs the real-life Coyote Ugly in New York. Maria Bello was excellent in The Cooler, and does more sure-fire work in this picture. She is still as hilarious as ever, and plays a very strict, yet laidback bartender.Coyote Ugly, even in possession of a decent storyline, is ruined by its own immaturity. There are too many overhead shots of women on the bar countertop that go nowhere and aren't arousing or entertaining at all. I appreciate John Goodman's role as Violet's protective and caring dad, but the scenes with him are far to spread out and far too short to fully enjoy. I imagine if Kevin Smith was responsible for writing the entire screenplay maybe the movie would've been more about the daddy/daughter relationship rather than the women.The story isn't gripping, but it works for a while. Until the bar comes into play. Then it's down to twelve year olds controlling the camera. Piper Perabo is gorgeous, and is one of the most underrated actresses in Hollywood today in terms of looks and acting skills. She still hasn't had that "breakout" role that has taken her career to new heights. Surprisingly, as juvenile as this picture can be, this really didn't jump-start any future projects for her. Nor anyone else in this film.Starring: Piper Perabo, Adam Garcia, Maria Bello, and John Goodman. Directed by: David McNally. 2ff7e9595c
