Fastbreak Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 I right click an active torrent, go to remove and -> delete .torrent, and the torrent file is not deleted. This is consistant and though the feature is pretty nice, its just not working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 The remove and delete .torrent removes the cached .torrent file it uses, not anything else like any torrent file you saved elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fastbreak Posted January 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Wouldn't the cached torrent file be removed when the torrent is closed anyways? Is the cached file saved between sessions? I just feel this could be seen as misleading, other applications behave otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 The cached torrent is stored between sessions.No it is not deleted when the task is removed with just the remove torrent function. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wt684 Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 is there no way to actually delete the saved .torrent file from within uTorrent itself?I've been an Azureus user for a long time, and "Remove and Delete .torrent" always deletes my saved .torrent file which is what I want. When I download a bunch of torrents, uTorrent has been bugging me lately when I have to delete these files individually myself. (It REALLY drove me crazy cuz it didn't delete the .torrent file when i Removed, so when i went to delete it myself manually, i ACCIDENTALLY DELETED THE FILE I JUST DOWNLOADED!!! it took me 2 damn days to download that! ARGH)The current "Remove and Delete .torrent" option in utorrent seems unintuitive to me. I dont even know where these .torrent files are cached, so it makes no difference to me if they're deleted or not. What I need is to delete the saved .torrentIs that possible? Put that in the next update perhaps?(Long time uTorrent users might not find anythin wrong with this, but I recently switched to uTorrent and I like everything about it except for this) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
µtorrent-Guest Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 User misinterpretation of a behaviour is not a bug I guess.µT deletes the torrents that it saves himself just fine if you tell him to do that. So no, there is no bug with it!I for myself would be very pissed if µt would delete files not created by himself but by an other applicationSo just do not save the torrentfile elsewhere, and µT will delete what he has saved just fine if you use "Remove and delete torrentfile" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 They're stored in %AppData%\uTorrent. Use the Delete and remove .torrent and it'll remove it from there. If you saved it anywhere else, it has no idea that it exists, so naturally, it can't remove it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 µTorrent makes no persistent use of .torrent files outside of the .torrent storage directory anyhow, so I (personally) don't see why it needs to keep track of them and be able to delete them if they're not in said directory.
