torrent error

[µ1012]

I have a torrent download stuck at 97.2 % with a red cross icon before the name of the torrent (i.e.,error in torrent)

Under the status column,the comments are:

"Error:"

Thats all.Hence I was not able to conclude a meaningful search on the forum threads before posting this.

This is the first time this has happened.

And I do not know if this is relevant information or not but I thought I should point it out: My maximum no of downloads at any time is set to

2. (and I "added" a torrent for downloading when the existing two were already in progress.I did not pause one of these two before adding the new one,but did so immediately afterwards).

I would like to know if this particular download is now entirely corrupted or any other solution is there.

EDIT:Somehow the error message has appeared in its entirety and it is saying: "error:files missing from job.Please re-check."

Thanks.

so, then take a look with your explorer where you have saved the content, when you have found the path, in µT rightclick the torrent file -> Advanced -> Set download location point to the path where you saved the content, and then do what the message said; "Please re-check"

Thanks for the reply.

Actually,the option you specified viz.,...Advanced >Set download location is "greyed out" i.e.,inactive.

So I just right-clicked the particular torrent and chose "force re-check" from the drop-down menu.

Actually I was wary of losing the 97% of already downloaded data and was not planning on doing anything "forced" but surprisingly,force re-check just did the trick !!

It went about re-checking already downloaded data and then began downloading from where it left it last time.

Thanks!

good to hear that

P.S. it was greyed out because you had it still running. once you have stopped the torrent the "set location" is active!

(just to let you know for the next time)
