jlanpheer Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 Hi- I've been using uTorrent for a couple of years now and have never been able to figure this out. I THINK these two situations have the same solution, but i may be wrong. I am trying to solve the following two issues:1. I've downloaded a torrent and was seeding it successfully, but the files were not downloaded to the location that i wanted to. Its a long story not worth telling, but i now have all the files from the torrent and i am trying to re-register the torrent so that i can share the files that i have downloaded. So, i have gone back to the website that is hosting the torrent and re-downloaded the torrent. I expected that it would find the files that i've already downloaded and simply register the files and start sharing them. Instead, the files (that i already have) begin downloading again. How do i stop this behavior? 2. The machine that i am working on has been rebuilt. I have a bunch of shows that i've previously downloaded and the original torrent files that came with them. In some cases, the shows are still listed on the trackers that i downloaded them from. I would like to re-register my files that i've downloaded and share them. What i have tried is to download the torrent file of the torrent again. As above, the files start to download, even though i already have them. In both cases above, i have the same problem. When i download the torrent file again, uTorrent begins downloading the files, even though i have already downloaded them. Since my share ratio is an issue, i don't want to download the same files twice, i already have them. I simply want to register and share the files that i have already have. Could someone please thoroughly explain how to do this?thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlanpheer Posted October 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 I don't think it matters, but i am running uTorrent version 3.4.2, the 32-bit version. I'm sure this is not a uTorrent bug, but more of a matter of my needing to understand the particulars of using it properly. I probably haven't found the right link in the help files.
