Well, first of all, I would recommend against doing that anyway. Trying to force bittorrent into ordered downloading will just slow down your download speed, and if lots of people did it it could ruin a download for everyone. You're much better off selecting all the files you want the first time, and letting them all be downloaded. Secondly, it's possible that the file d has already been downloaded, since it shares some piece data with file c. Of course, this only applies if d is smaller than the piece size (usually 1MB or less). I don't think you're talking about files that small, but I mention it anyway in case it's the problem. Finally, it's difficult to know how to diagnose this without an example file to test it with. Can you send me the torrent file (privately if you want) and a description of exactly how to reproduce the error? Does the problem always happen, or does it appear seemingly randomly?
