I'm going to guess that you are downloading individual files and multiples at one time. What can happen is that you are actually downloading several files from the same torrent, and part of torrent clean up is to delete anything that is only a partial chunk. The torrents are corrupting each other! If you MUST download from an individual list and do multiples at a time, make SURE they are not from the same torrent. How do you do that? I don't know. I've never figured out a good way.

You can look into complete torrents and select the files that you want. If you are looking for a specific artist, search for a torrent containing that artist's works and then select what you wish to download, if not the entire collection. Check this out: http://catfangz.com/frostwire/SingleFile.html
And this: http://catfangz.com/frostwire/Chunks.html

This is simply the way torrents work. You could suggest, as an enhancement, that FrostWire NOT allow separate downloads from the same torrent. At least then you'd know there was a problem.
