MikeFL Posted October 15, 2019 Report Share Posted October 15, 2019 I continue to receive the notification on the top bar, but no matter how many times the windows is closed, restarted, it persists. An update for μTorrent Web is available! 1.0.4 build 1865Restart now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SergeyQA Posted October 17, 2019 Report Share Posted October 17, 2019 Please try to reboot your machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeFL Posted October 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2019 Many thanks. Actually the "Restart now" which seemingly was only referring to Safari actually worked just now, so it wasn't the Mac that needed rebooting. As an aside, I'm nonetheless at an impasse as my site has not approved of uTorrent Web and is probably not going to it seems. I liked uTorrent on windows for years, I liked it on Mac. I did look at three other clients briefly and could not get them to work for me. I might just be out of the sharing biz indefinitely. Thanks again for your response.

Fuga Posted October 18, 2019 Report Share Posted October 18, 2019 Did you try qBittorrent? Recently? I can assure you it works most excellently on Mac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeFL Posted October 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2019 Fuga, thank you. Yes I did. For reasons I can't explain when I look to add the files in my torrents folder, the vast majority of them are grayed out. I imagine it's all repairable and no doubt can work I just am lacking the skills without some serious assistance to make it happen. Seems it will be that or nothing the way things look. I've also just been too busy to set the time aside to deal with it. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuga Posted October 19, 2019 Report Share Posted October 19, 2019 Ya gotta have faith it'll work. Or would you really want to "be out of the sharing biz"? Only other choice is Transmission or not updating to Catalina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeFL Posted October 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2019 Fuga, thanks again. I'm sure it's do-able. I'm just lacking the skill set to get it done. While I've been using computers for ages, I'm new to the Mac world, and although uTorrent never failed me it worked so well for me on Windows and then on the iMac, I never took the time to really learn it, or other clients. I've tried Qbittorrent, Transmission, and Deluge on the Mac, all accepted by my site, but they just didn't happen for me. I'll try and 'get back on the horse' one day, perhaps a break for now is okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuga Posted October 21, 2019 Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 Just know there is nothing overtly "Mac" that is causing your issue. Or, rather, shouldn't be. I've gone back and forth for years, Win/Mac, and know of nothing OS specific. Yeah, beaks can be good, as long as they are just breaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeFL Posted October 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 I'm sure you're right. There is something on in that a great majority of say 500+ files show a file name as xxx.torrent.imported - I suspect this is causing a problem with QBittorrent being able to 'discover' them. When I'm able I'll have to get together with my son, put our heads together and see what we can figure out. But I do believe that's the issue, but also why it wasn't a problem for uTorrent. Here's a snippet of the directory. Thanks for your time and interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuga Posted October 22, 2019 Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 I'd start from scratch. Total uninstall of qBittorrent - all files in all directories, hidden or otherwise. FindAnyFile is best. Install latest build. Load all your *original* .torrent files. Cross your fingers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeFL Posted October 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 Thanks once again. See that's the issue here it seems. If I have hundreds of files that are xxx.torrent.imported I believe this is why QBittorrent, Deluge and Transmission are not seeing them but uTorrent did, as does uTorrent Web. But they're grayed out just viewing them as above so it's not just a situation of renaming *.torrent.imported *.torrent or some manner. I'm frankly just baffled. Seems to me if I go forward I'm starting from scratch with a half a dozen or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuga Posted October 22, 2019 Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 But why are they .imported? How'd that happen? Delete that extension on a few files and see if it then works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeFL Posted October 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 I'd have to go back to this spring when the new iMac came out. I installed 1.8.7 at the time, but was still running uTorrent on the Windows box. Oddly that Windows machine died shortly thereafter. I'm sure it was pure jealousy. I pulled the drive and my son and I dragged the torrents to the Mac and while I lost a few everything was fine on Mac 1.8.7. - I have to assume in that process that .imported was added and I never realized it. So, what I'd like to do is start all over again from that original drive and QBittorrent, and assume I can avoid them being renamed .imported. This will probably all take a bit of time as he'll be away, we'll be away and then the holidays. Clearly this is resolvable, and only now seeing that file extension explains the roadblock. Some problems are of our own making. Generally when trouble arises I always assume "it's me not you" while everyone blames someone else. Thanks again for listening.

Fuga Posted October 23, 2019 Report Share Posted October 23, 2019 It appears your Mac can read the drive that had the files. For sure, a simple Finder copy should have had the files named properly, no .imported extension. Best of luck to you. I look forward to at some point reading here that all is well.
