I am getting a "Disk read error" message when trying to download a content, what do I do?
There are some users who are downloading content and the download goes into that state. Make sure to clear up some space on your hard drive, either by deleting unused files or by clearing up your recycle bin. After you have made enough space on the drive, go back to the Dashboard tab and click on the 'Resume' button.
If you are still receiving errors after freeing up some space on your drive, try doing the following:
1) Go to the Advanced section of Vuze (View > Advanced > My Torrents) to open your Torrent window.
2) Highlight on the torrent that has the error.
3) Click on the Stop button
4) Right-click on the torrent and choose 'Force Re-check'.
5) Then click on the Play button to resume download
It is also possible that an application is trying to access the same file, maybe an indexing service like Google Desktop, etc. Stop the application that is trying to access the Download directly or tell it to skip your download directory.
