tcweh Posted February 7, 2016 Report Posted February 7, 2016 Hi guys. I have recently encountered an issue with my Utorrent. Upon booting up my desktop screen i will get the following And when i go to download a torrent the following message will pop up and prevent me from downloading Ive tried installing uTorrent again but no success What's going on? Regards
mike20021969 Posted February 7, 2016 Report Posted February 7, 2016 I only ever saw those messages once. The fix was exit uTorrent. Delete updates.dat (or rename it), then launch uTorrent.exe. To avoid future messages like that, exit uTorrent. Delete updates.dat. Then create an empty updates.dat file in the same folder (simply create a blank text document and save it as updates.dat - the extension must be .dat. Then right-click on it>Properties. Set Attributes to Read-only>Apply>OK. Launch uTorrent.
tcweh Posted February 7, 2016 Author Report Posted February 7, 2016 Thanks for the response. Just tried that and it still doesn't work :/
mike20021969 Posted February 7, 2016 Report Posted February 7, 2016 It sounds like uTorrent is installed/trying to run from 2 different locations.
