  1. Maybe its lost in translation but it is impossible to use uTorrent for purposes of saving space with private files. You cannot delete the files unless someone else has a copy. It is possible to privately send to friends. Then one of you can delete the local copy and the other can keep their copy until a future time when they send back to you.
  2. You need to either create the torrent again or link the original content files to the torrent so that it shows Seeding status. I already described both procedures above. If you do not have the original content files. The torrent on its own is useless. Torrents only contain metadata about files.
  3. I have never seen uTorrent close when launching a Steam game, super weird for you. Perhaps its crashing memory restrictions or you have altered the disk cache setting memory setting? uTorrent always crashed for me with disk cache memory override at 1800MB (even though I have 32GB RAM), dropped it back to 512MB haven't had an issue since. I suspect it was hitting the 4GB 32bit limit. You could try Rafi's (above) uTorrent with LAA flag (Large Address Awareness).
  4. Do you have the original files? Torrents require someone to have the original files to seed and serve them. If nobody has the original files then the torrent is dead.
  5. Disable the "Initial Seeding/Semeaco Inicial" of torrent in properties. Does the computer with the files, show 100% Seeding? If not then you need to, Right click the torrent -> Advanced -> Set Download Location... find the files and then Stop the torrent and Right click -> Force Re-Check. When it shows 100% of the files then Right click -> Force Start. If you can't get it working remove the references in uTorrent, just start from the beginning and create the torrent again follow my step by step instructions above.
  6. Options -> Preferences -> UI Settings -> When Adding Torrents: [X] Activate the program window [X] Show options to change the name and location of the torrent data
  7. To be perfectly clear, the BitTorrent protocol is a distributed Peer2Peer networking protocol, someone needs to be serving the files for someone else. You can seed your files to the network only if others download them, and then only download them if when you want them someone is still seeding them. If you delete your own files they are gone. Maybe try some HDD undelete recovery software if it was fairly recently.
  8. Open uTorrent File -> Create New Torrent Add files or folders. Recommend: NOT Private and adding some open trackers like: udp://tracker.opentrackr.org:1337/announce udp://tracker.openbittorrent.com:6969/announce [X] Start seeding Create Save the .torrent file on Desktop. Wait for hash check to finish. Right click torrent -> Force Start. Torrent won't stop unexpectedly due to seeding goals. Send the desktop .torrent file to recipient. e.g. email attachment or other means Optional: Right click torrent -> Copy Magnet URI Note: magnet links are only good for non private torrents with trackers. If you didn't add trackers and kept the torrent private then the recipient will need to do the following. Add .torrent to uTorrent Select torrent. Select Peers list. Right click in Peers -> Add peer. Add the public IP address and port number of the seeding computer and uTorrent instance. If connection cannot be established then verify firewall and port forwarding is open on the seeding computer. FYI uTorrent works with both IPv4 and IPv6 as applicable and this website will display public IPv4/IPv6 addresses and can help you verify the seeding computer is connectable. https://www.port.tools/port-checker-ipv6/ uTorrent: Options -> Preferences -> Connection -> Listening Port is the port number.
  9. When you create the torrent in uTorrent, you will need to set as Private, that will disable PEX/DHT. But as stated above its kind of pointless. You will need someone/something to serve it to you.... your own computer. Something needs to be seeding it for you to download it. So sure you can seed from one city and download in another but it won't be on the internet unless you are. And you will be forced into manually adding the ip address and port number of your own seeding computer when you want to download it (right click in the peer list -> add peer).
  10. Next time check if your torrent is stuck with 1 completed piece. I always found stopping and starting the torrents to do the trick.
  11. Are they popular torrents? Can only seed to other people who are currently downloading.... nobody downloading = no seeding. Are you connectable or behind a NAT or service provider CGNAT, have you confirmed port forwarding is working? And firewall is not blocking. Not much else, other than time seeding and waiting. Try this page IPv6 and IPv4 Open Port Checker Tools - Verify Port Forwarding Open uTorrent -> Preferences -> Connection -> Listening port used for incoming connections. Copy the port number and test on the page I linked above. "Success or Failed"? Try with both IPv4 and/or IPv6 as applicable. If success, there is nothing more to do.
  12. Do you mean the 7.11GB torrent? With 36 swarm seeds? Do you have any goal overrides set? Right Click Torrent -> Properties -> Seeding Goals
  13. The START command in Windows Command Prompt is used to fork processes. Open a command prompt type START /? for usage information. Basic example would be: start notepad utorrent.exe without version should be the latest, can you try opening it and then Help -> Check for new version. FYI there is an environment variable that you can use to make your path more generic, on command prompt: echo %APPDATA%
  14. If you can't see the torrent in the list then you either have an active non matching search filter (top of job list) or you haven't selected the category corresponding to the torrent status in the Side Bar [F7] .
  15. This is a bad idea, definitely this needs to be a user selectable behaviour. I wouldn't want torrent content files that I delete to just start redownloading, I do an annual purge and I leave torrents in my job list because that prevents me from readding the same torrent in the future. If I deleted the files then I don't want it auto redownloading them... I just purged them on purpose. Again this would have to be user selectable. [X] Restart errored torrents automatically when uTorrent opens If this is a feature you want, you can implement it with the "Run program when torrent changes state option" write a script that backs up the resume.dat every time state changes until state changes to error, if state changes to error, flag the error and stop backing up. Write a second script that restores the resume.dat and clears your flag before starting uTorrent. Make that your uTorrent launch shortcut. I think that is the best bet, because restarting uTorrent automatically when error state is reached would just create a restarting loop since disks are likely to be offline for a while.
  16. Thanks for the tip. Should update the help manual with that flag. Command Line Options /ANSI /AUTOUPDATE /BRINGTOFRONT /DIRECTORY /HIDE /LAUNCHBUNDLEDURL /LOGFILE /MINIMIZED /NOINSTALL /PERFORMINSTALL /RECOVER /UNINSTALL
  17. 'Copy Magnet URI' does what you want anyway... I mean if you have the magnets, then you can download the .torrent's, so you can split it up by label copy the magnets and load the torrents. The other trick would be Remove And -> Delete .torrent... now all your torrents are in the recycling bin. Though you would get slapped with force rechecking unless you presaved settings.dat and resume.dat The last thing I thought of was copying the file list with [Ctrl]+[C] but it doesn't actually copy the Name column , didn't for me. It copied all the stats but not the names of the files, which I thought you could use to programmatically match against the .torrents in the uTorrent data folder. But like I said it didn't copy the names so thats unfortunate.
  18. I have not submitted to any public trackers before, so I don't know what the process is exactly. I would guess that the process is the same as for private trackers, register and then upload .torrent and seed. If TPB isn't working for you there are other trackers, like KickassTorrents. Note you would need to seed to a few trackers the same .torrent if you want it to be widely available in search. Each torrent tracker is independent. DHT and Peer Exchange will work only if there is another person already trying to download the torrent... but we're back to needing to have the torrent or magnet to be trying. Same goes for the trackers you listed... they just relay peers, they know nothing.
  19. Hold [Shift] + Hold [F2] + Click Options -> Preferences Advanced -> Filter 'wallet' wallet_integration_enabled: true offers.wallet_ui_enabled: true
  20. What is stopped? Disk full? Queued torrents? Did you try Force Starting torrent? Did you try rebooting computer? Do the torrents have any peers with 100% of the file or a non 0% relevant part of the files? IF the torrents are Queued, you can either Force Start them or increase the active number in Queuing settings in Preferences.
  21. I am assuming you added open trackers like openbittorrent... but that won't work unless someone actually knows what the torrent info hash is. i.e. you would have to personally send them the .torrent file or the magnet link for them to be able to download from you. Other trackers ones that you can search on require you to submit your .torrent file. If you have not submitted the file to any trackers then they would not know that it exists and it would not be added to any search results. Either way you have to send your .torrent or magnet to somewhere for the recipient to download.

    SKY Broadband

    Its most probably because Sky Broadband is using a CG-NAT. You might think your ports are open but they only open out to your ISP NAT where they are not. You will need a public IP address, perhaps Sky Broadband will let you opt out of CG-NAT if you call and ask (some providers do, just mention you need port forwarding). If not free, then most providers will also let you purchase a public Static IP address for a fee.
  23. The issue is you have too many active torrents. Go to: Options -> Preferences -> Queuing Alter the maximum number of active. I have mine set to 50 and 50. But you can decide how many is appropriate for your circumstances. Torrents will be queued when you exceed this number, you can set a very large number (1000) or you have to stop some to bring the number of active down.
