SrAnonymous Posted December 21, 2022 Report Share Posted December 21, 2022 (edited) Hello, I need help with a problem. I have created .torrent files where I have a lot of heavy videos so that I can save it without taking up a lot of space on my PC. But when I want to download my videos, utorrent doesn't download my files and I get "Connecting to the sync" and from there it doesn't load anything anymore, it takes hours and hours and it doesn't download even 0.01%. I need help with this if there is a way to fix or convert my .torrent file to something else in order to get its content back inside. It is very important to me.

DreadWingKnight Posted December 21, 2022 Report Share Posted December 21, 2022 You deleted the files from your system? If no one had previously downloaded the torrent, then the files are gone. Torrent files are NOT a substitute for cloud storage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just did the test, I created another .torrent file and it still doesn´t download anything with the original files still saved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafi Posted December 24, 2022 Report Share Posted December 24, 2022 Do you mean from another PC, over a LAN connection? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majibow Posted December 25, 2022 Report Share Posted December 25, 2022 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
