I've noticed that sometimes when I download big wacks of MP3s via bit torrent (eg 9478 Great Punk Covers!), once in a while the files are hopelessly corrupt. It's like the MP3s are all mixed together. You play Goldfingers's cover of Ring my Bell and it's all hashed together with 3 or 4 different tunes. Really weird.

If I try to redownload the torrent, I get the same problem. I suspect it's an encoding problem at the source.

Anyone else experience this?

I had that problem once when I decided to dl the same file 6 times at once. My reasoning was that I'd get the file faster. I started enough dl's of the same file to get it in 6 hours instead of 30 or something. What I got was an episode of 'Enterprise' with scenes out of order and some scrambled bits.
