vcd is not really a file extension or type....it is a video compact disc. It should be a .mpg file you are downloading. I don't know about the 293% bit but I would suggest closing the download, checking the file to see if it passes the md5, then restarting the download if it doesn't check out.

Hmmm...  I've never heard of a BT going that high...

But I have read that if it goes over 100% one possible reason is re-downloading bad chunks of data....

I would disconnect and re-connect...  And/or reboot, that never hurts...
