<br>
I was downloading a file(calling it 'file1') using torrent and
before the file was 100% complete i tried to play it using VLC
player, I found another of my videos(calling this video 'file2')
playing/popping up when file1 kept getting stuck while rendering
on the screen. The strange thing is i had deleted file2 from my
system a week ago. I am clueless on how it was able to read that
file2 and play it in between file1. And the stranger thing is I
have formatted my system and when i play that file1 which i saved
in an ext HDD, it still keeps playing file2 when ever it encouters
a jerk in the VLC media player and remains stationary at the exact
same locations when i play it in windows media player. Can you
please explain what is happening and why such behavior is
exhibited by VLC player.<br>
<br>
Thanking you in advance for you support.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

I encountered this behavior as well. It's because the file you were
still downloading (file1) was downloaded in chunks which have spaces
between them (not yet downloaded chunks of the file). These spaces
were not overwritten with any data so they contained data from a
previously deleted file (because when you delete a file, it does not
get physically deleted, only the space it occupied is reclaimed as
free) - file2.<br>
