no1joel Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 When i start up uTorrent, i get these two messagesThen once its started i get this message...and no torrents will download.I've tried replacing settings.dat and resume.dat, then wasn't sure if it was resume.dat.old and resume.dat.new and settings.dat.old and settings.dat.new, but it doesn't fix the problem.Sorry, so sorry if this was covered but i have searched both these forums, the help/faq and google.I'm using uTorrent 1.6 build 474.Everything has worked before but recently this has been happening, and i've started crying myself to sleep.

Ultima Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 Is your disk full like the dialog suggests? Is there some process locking the directory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no1joel Posted December 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 Hi, no the disc wasn't full, but i checked up on the processes and it seemed that zonealarm was doing something, even though i thought i'd uninstalled it so i reinstalled, uninstalled again, and everything works now.Thank you for the help anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vivviiv Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 I think this is the same problem as i have had. Except i can't solve it. Lookking through faqs and well, this it would seem as though i need to recreate the resume file and such, but i really don't have any idea on how i would do that or even if i can. I'm not really used to anything even remotely technical on the computer which doesn't exactly help me, but i would really enjoy it if not all my current downloads were for nothing because it can't resume the downloads and im using the 1.5 utorrent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 Any reason you're still using 1.5 instead of 1.6? Also, can you answer the questions I've asked above? If you're not sure how to figure out if any application is locking the directory, get Process Explorer from sysinternals.com, press Ctrl+F, and search for the path to the directory that settings.dat is stored in.

dconline Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 "resume.dat" related question.Dramatically disappointed. Happy 2007 year and still primitive disadvantages...Only ordinary system hang (windows, of course ) / power problems - and get happy hours of reanimation month-wide downloads. And helpful advices to eliminate reasons of system crashes - it's a brilliant, a miracle, a prodigy!Why not to create 'new' file - copy 'old backup' - rename 'old' to 'backup' - rename 'new' - delete copy of 'old backup' instead of naive direct writing into the file with critical data contained in?Please remember - many trackers directs to use utorrent as "non-problematic" client. Let utorrent be a crash-resistent software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runge Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 I also have this problem and it's really starting to irritate me a lot!I tried installing that Process Explorer but since I don't have any problems with/or in fact have a settings.dat anywhere I don't know what to do..? . I have no clue how to see what process might be locking the directory in which uTorrent is complaining about.Please help anyone... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switeck Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Run Scandisk on your hard drive/s.Try deleting ALL of µTorrent's settings files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
