inoUth Posted September 27, 2017 Report Share Posted September 27, 2017 First, allow me to say that I have looked through the forums for any other mention of a problem like this, but couldn't find it; So, if it is here somewhere already, please let me know. Second, I was not at all sure of what post tags to use for this problem, so if you think there are some that I should have used but didn't, again-please add them (if that's possible) or let me know and I will add them myself. And now, on to my problem: At approximately 6:30 PM, 9/26/2017, here in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, I set up my UTorrent program with a list of 37 torrents to begin downloading over the course of the night. I awoke the next morning and went to check on my progress, and was happily surprised to find 8 of them had been completed, several of which were TV Show or Movie collections and were several GB in size. I chose not to interrupt the process, and instead, went to grab breakfast. During breakfast, my apartment building suffered a very temporary power outage. I returned about a half hour later, and found that as a (not a surprise) result of the outage, my laptop had rebooted, but (also not surprisingly) the UTorrent program had not started up again. So I went ahead and started it up. All of the torrent files that had been listed as completed and seeding were now listed with the error "Error: The System cannot find the path specified;" So, I first ran a HDD process check to make certain that I had not lost any of my HDD during or as a result of the outage, and found that I have not; Second, I went ahead and a "Force Re-Check" on all of my torrents (the ones that were finished as well as the ones that were not); All of the re-checks came back okay, but none of the completed ones came back as being, well, COMPLETED; A couple of them came back at 99+ % completed, but the rest were all at 70% or less; Can someone please explain how I have lost all of my completed files? I checked my completed downloads directory (which I will quickly point out is NOT violating the 255-character limit for a path length in Windows) and NONE of the torrents that WERE listed as completed are in there. I am truely at a loss, and any help from anyone will be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike20021969 Posted September 27, 2017 Report Share Posted September 27, 2017 Right-click on any listed torrent>Open Containing Folder. Anything found? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inoUth Posted September 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2017 @mike20021969 First, thank you for your help; As I said before, I tried that with all of the torrents in my list, both the ones that had been listed as completed and seeding, and the ones that were still downloading; They all showed up in the correct folders/locations; But none of the ones that were completed and seeding were in my completed torrents location-they (seemingly still downloading portions) were still in the correct folder for my "In Process torrents" 1 good piece of news: As I mentioned before, a couple of the torrents that had been completed and seeding, and had then shown up as on 99+ % finished, finished downloading, and when I tried them out, they played just fine; I'm still hoping to find the missing completed/finished torrents for the ones that, as I mentioned before, were several GB in size; Any help from anyone will be greatly appreciated.

PiusX Posted October 1, 2017 Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 Did you look at your Preferences setting to see if anything changed? I would look there first to see if anything changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
