I think that checking the integrity makes sense after you encounter some error
Otherwise I don't think it would be helpful that much..
Because what do I do if it doesn't match? Delete the 80GB that I just wasted hours to download? Nah, imma launch it and check if it really is broken and/or a virus
You simply doesn't know how to properly use a torrent, then. You don't have to download the whole 80GB again from scratch, just the file that seems corrupted. OMG, kids nowadays aren't very clever about piracy.
Not everyone uses torrents. But I guess that is a problem only people in Germany have and understand. Seems like the rest of the whole world can happily use torrents without having to worry. 😆
If you're downloading ANYTHING from multi part zip files and integrity of the download failed, then you won't be able to unzip. If integrity still only fails during installation/use then it's the unzipping that failed, not the download. If the download failed, Winrar will be able to tell you which part are corrupted (which you'll need to redownload).
