Default Downloading Movies

When downloading a movie, if it does not say 100% complete and goes to the incomplete file, why do some say 0% in size and others say the total amount of MB that the movie is? Also why are some written in black and some in red.
Thanks

The 0% is most likely the progress downloaded, not size. (necesarilly)
Some say the total size of the file, it does not however mean it has fully downloaded the file (progress) into your hard drive.

If it's red, the file has been fully downloaded. Or not being shared.
Normal able to be partially shared.

If the incomplete file is listed in red, it is not being shared and vice versa.

Personally, I do not share files until I have completely downloaded and thoroughly checked them.

Other users are of the opinion that sharing incomplete files to speed-up downloads is a greater priority than limiting the spread of poor/corrupt content.

Whatever you decide, navigate to tools/options/uploads/basic where you will find the option to share partial files.

To share/withold individual files right-click on them (in the incomplete files view) and make your choice.

I can't give you a certain answer with regards to the file sizes shown

Regards.
