What is Disk read error data error cyclic redundancy check in the Azureus file sharing program?

In: Computer Software and Applications

[Edit]

Answer

This is with near perfect certainty NOT a problem specific to Azureus or any particular software. This sort of message (disk read error) indicates a hardware problem. At best, it means it's trying to save a file to some removable media (USB memory stick, flash card, portable hard drive or MP3 player, etc) and there's a communication problem perhaps because the cord is unplugged. It may be indicating an intermittent failure of your hard disk controller (integrated into your computer's motherboard), which is replaceable. At worst, it's indicating a partial failure of your hard disk. If you're only seeing the problem in Azureus, it may be failing to read on a particular area of the disk, perhaps containing part of the Azureus program (or the Java interpreter). In this case, get another hard disk or some backup medium (CDR, DVD-R, etc) and save your important documents, soon!

Without going into too much detail, a "CRC" or cyclic redundancy check is a computer algorithm for detecting that the stream of data being read or received is corrupted in some way.
