  1. I am occasionally searching for torrents out there in Internet. This search should 1.) allow to exclude patterns. Example: I want to list all torrents whose names contain "PDF" but NOT "Adobe". So a search pattern like pdf -Adobe (or similar) must be possible. Or by using wildcards like Ubuntu 3* 2.) The search should offer to search in multiple trackers in parallel. There are some torrent search websites but they focus only on one or a very small subset of trackers. Can I somehow setup a such a search in utorrent? Or does someone know really (!) good torrent website? Thank you Peter
  2. Assume I started some torrent downloads for large files. Since the download speeds from the few seeds are tiny it could last a long time (days or even weeks). Now I want to re-configure uTorrent in Preferences\Directories so that current *.torrent files and current (already partially downloaded) files from/to other directories. How can I achieve this WITH keeping the already downloaded stuff? The following steps do NOT work: 1.) Start utorrent 2.) Stop all downloads 3.) Change in Preferences\Directories the values for "Put new downloads in", "Store .torrents in", "Automatically load .torrents from" 4.) Copy all *.torrent files and target files into new directories 5.) Re-Start Downloads in uTorrent. Whats wrong? How else can I achieve a successful re.location/move?
  3. I observed a strange behavior of uTorrent v3.6 on Windows 10: A few days ago I added a couple of torrents for large files from a public webserver to uTorrent. The downloads started "as usual" and work. Immediately after start the download rate is around 5 Mbit per second (total for parallel download of 7 files. Then during the next 30 minutes the download rate ALWAYS decreases slowly but constantly down to around 500 kbit per second (total for all downloads). If I exit and restart utorrent again then the same scenario happens again. Total download rate is high but decreases. This happens independently from time of day, On weekends and working days. No other internet programs exist accessing the Internet. So whats wrong? How can I improve utorrent downloads and keep them on the initial higher rate? The high download rates at the bgeinning show that it is possible in general.
  4. This is NOT true. For example, a couple of weeks ago I downloaded a big file via utorrent. The corresponding *.torrent file is still in "completed torrents" folder (as I found out meanwhile). But I didn't remember that. So I added the torrent again and...... utorrent did NOT notify me and it does not refuse to add the torrent. Instead the torrent target file was downloaded again. So simply having the *.torrent file in "completed torrents" folder seems to be not working/ not sufficient/not storing the Hash
  5. Ok, thank you for answer. But I didn't thought about torrent file name comparison. This name could change and would be not suitable. An easier way would be to request the Hash value for the torrent download target file (not the *.torrent file) from the torrent server/seed/peers and compare it to the local "already downloaded store". That would be perfectly easy Is there no such function?
  6. Assume I run utorrent from time to time over a longer period of time. Lots of torrent files are already stored in "completed torrents" folder. When I add now a new torrent for downloading utorrent should compare it at first against all the previous downloads (= torrents in "completed torrents" folder) and check if this torrent was already downloaded in the past. If yes, a warning popup should appear. How can I achieve this? Peter
  7. What I need is a new column "Last seen completely" which shows the date/time when a certain torrent was see completely the last time. "Completely" means either at least one seed for the full file was available or the sum of all partial chunks over all peers represents the full file. Can this be added in the next release? Thank you Peter
  8. How do I force recheck? Can I force re-check for all existing torrents at once or only one by one? Do I have to move existing *.torrent files and already downloaded files chunks to new download folders before (recheck)?
  9. Assume I started some bigger (> 1 GB) torrent downloads on computer A with utorrent installation on computer A. Unfortunately the seeds appear only temporarily once in a while. So the downloads will last possibly for a couple of weeks. I consider to move the partially download files and downloading *.torrent files to another computer B. And to use utorrent installation on computer B to continue the download process. However this does not work. After moving the files and starting utorrent on B the already downloaded chunks are NOT recognized. Even when I copy the whole utorrent installation folder fom computerA to computer B and start utorrent B it does not work. Whats wrong? Ok, the directory path to "downloading" and "downloading torrents" (sub)directories are different between computer A and B . But this shouldn't matter. How do I tell utorrent B otherwise to use existing download stuff and continue download on another computer? Peter
  10. Ok. Is there a function/menu inside utorrent which let me clean up resume.dat? Or do I simply have to delete whole resume.dat file?
  11. Your answers are at least confusing or even wrong. Assume I downloaded 10 torrents (and finished them). Now I exit utorrent. Then moved the downloaded files from specified "completed" utorrent directory to another (network) drive and finally deleted all *.torrent files from "completedtorrents" utorrent directory. Then I restarted utorrent and voila: all the previously downloaded stuff appears still in download window as lines. I don't want this information!! So there MUST be some source of information outside the "completed..." directories where the previous download information is stored. So AGAIN: Which file contains this information? How can I really, really erase this information? Peter
  12. Ok, all torrent files and downloaded/downloading files are stored in the corresponding customized user directories. But is there anywhere ANOTHER place/file where these torrents/files are stored? E.g. in internal utorrent tracker DBs or statistic files or logfiles or recent lists? I don't want to leave any traces outside of the mentioned directories. Peter
