sk8agrrl Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 I have successfully been using uTorrent for ages now and yesterday when i opened up the prog all my downloads had disappeared from the list (same thing also happened with limewire too if thats of any interest)I have the folders with the incomplete downloads still there but i cant find the relevant torrent files to reload the torrents and complete the downloads.I just wondered a) if there was some reason that this may have happened and how do i find the torrent files to start the downloads again?any help would be appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Alderaan Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 It happens when µtorrent was unable to save certain files correctly on exit. This sometimes happens when µtorrent or the computer is closed down incorrectly. Nothing you can do except manually adding the .torrent files again. Always close both µtorrent and your computer normally. Killing the process or cutting of the power to your computer might cause µtorrent to have to recheck all files or even lose the whole list as has happened to you.Nothing you can do about BSOD or Power failures of course...

Ultima Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 For power failures, getting a UPS, or calling the electricity company might help As for BSODs/crashes... even if it seems like there's nothing that could be done about it, it would still be highest on my list of things to fix.

sk8agrrl Posted January 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 ok this is where i show myself up to be an idiot and my true blondness shows. where do i find .torrent files? i did a search on my pc and nothing came up. Ive tried to go to my usual torrent sites to see if i can find the oroginal torrent links there but it only ever shows up the downloads as requiring 100% again rather than starting where it left off.Im really P*ssed off cos i was at like 98% on two big downloads.
