Lola Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 I've gotten the "Unable to save the resume file. Some data may be lost. Another program may have the file open, or the disk is full. Please correct this and click Retry. If you press Cancel, the resume file will not be saved." error a few times in the past, but all day today, it has been acting up and appearing a lot more than usual. I tried the suggestion in the FAQ to create settings.dat and resume.dat in the uT install folder, which ended up ruining things for me because I had to reset all my settings and RSS information. But that would have been fine if it had solved the problem. The error is appearing now practically every 5-10 minutes, and I don't know what's causing it. I have both a resume.dat and a resume.old.dat file in the uT folder. I am currently also running ReGet Deluxe for DLing other files, and I noticed that when ReGet freezes, uT goes crazy with the "Unable to save the resume file" error, which starts appearing every few seconds. I've been using both programs for months, though, and have never had any sense that they might be incompatible till now. Reading up on other threads, I see that people have had issues between uT and Google Desktop Search. I myself have Copernic Desktop Search installed, but it is not set to search the uT folder, and it is disabled by default. I haven't been using it when I've gotten these errors. I'm using uTorrent 1.6 (Build 474) on Windows XP SP2. The partition of the HD containing the uT install folder has ~3GB of space left, so that the disk might be full is not an issue.Any help out there? I'd greatly appreciate it.

Ultima Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 Have you tried moving all the files in %appdata%\uTorrent into the same directory as your µTorrent executable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lola Posted September 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 No, I haven't. Many of the files there have the same name as files currently in the uT executable folder. Should I overwrite the ones in the latter? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 I guess you could back the existing files up to somewhere else if you want to test. µTorrent normally doesn't save anything into its own directory unless you tell it to.

Lola Posted September 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 Should I maybe just try to move the resume.dat and resume.dat.old from app data to the exe folder since those are the files acting up? Or should I move absolutely everything? And... when uT gives that error message, would you know if it's saying that resume.dat can't be saved to the app data folder or to the uT executable folder?

Ultima Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 %appdata%And um, you should move everything if you want to keep the torrents in your list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lola Posted September 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 All right. So just to make absolutely sure, I should move everything from app data/uT to Program Files/uT? And nothing will be left in app data/uT now, right?Should I expect uT to write new files in app data, or will they stay in Program Files permanently?

Firon Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 Everything should be in program files.Make sure you do it with µTorrent closed though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are screaming because they were d/l from me...but...I am not connectable...thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 Yeah everything disappeared, but have you tried reloading all the torrents and pointing µTorrent to the right location on the hard drive where the files are located? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sendero Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 yes, when I reset everything, I added the same configuration for my torrents files and d/ls...maybe I did something wrong here?can you help me?thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sendero Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 how do I reload all the torrents?thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 Open them again? If they're not in %appdata%\uTorrent (or wherever you store settings.dat), then you're going to have to find all the torrents from wherever you found them before.
