xerces8 Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 Hi!My PC froze (while uTorrent was running) and I rebooted it.After restart I started uTorrent, but all the torrents were gone.I looked into C:\Documents and Settings\mine\Application Data\uTorrentand it is full of torrents I had.Why aren't they displayed in the uTorrent GUI ?I had about 20 finished torrent, 5 seeding and 2 downloading.uTorrent v1.6Is there any way to recover the torrents ?Besides manually copying them out and re-opening ?

xerces8 Posted February 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 Then I must also clean the *.torrent files from C:\Documents and Settings\mine\Application Data\uTorrent, right ?Should I also delete some other files there ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 It's not a must, but you can just move them to another directory and open from there -- µTorrent will always make another copy in the %appdata%\uTorrent directory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xerces8 Posted February 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 No, what I meant was : they are now dead files of no use, I should delete them.What about other files in the same folder ? Are they dead too ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 Why would you think they're dead? They're still usable... The only file that got corrupted from the improper shutdown was resume.dat, and that's the file that stores the list of torrents. All you have to do is populate the list again by (again) reloading the .torrent files in that directory... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xerces8 Posted February 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 You, say I should move them to another dir and reopen. Which will copy them back. (and make them active)Currently they are there, but not active , ergo : dead.As if I copied the picture of my mom there. It is there, intact, but has no purpose : dead.That is what I mean. They are just taking up disk space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
