Guys did u even read my post!

if u point a fedora torrent to a digit dvd iso file.. the most probable thing would be that the whole file will get downloaded again.. because even if the data in the digit dvd image is off by 1bit (very high probalility) in relation to the fedora ISO then the checksum wont correspond i.e the torrent client will reject all the data and will have to download it again.

a torrent client does not work on files. it considers the whole data as one single stream constituted of equal sized blocks which in turn are divided in 16Kb pieces. so it will compare the data on the digit iso , by reading it as blocks, to that of the checksum a torrent file contains.. which of course wont match.
