Spudz Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 I have read the numerous other questions on this topic and haven't found them all that helpful so let me describe my problem and maybe someone can create a tutorial on how to do what I'm trying to do.I have about 25 torrents that I am seeding. These are all completed files. Each time I start uTorrent I want it to load ALL of these torrents and seed them (even if they are queued, I don't care). I've tried placing the torrents in different locations, I've tried using a different folder for all of the different options in uTorrent, but I *still* cannot get it to consistently autoload my torrents. So please, let's start from scratch:I have the torrent files and the data for those files in a directory called Torrent Downloads right now. Where do I need to put everything and what options do I need to set in order to make uTorrent autoload my torrents?Thank you for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spudz Posted November 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 I'm sorry, that's not quite enough. First, you have told me to enable and then disable the same option. . . but I know what you're talking about there (I think. . . move torrents off right?).What I need to know is how many folders do I need? What needs to go in each folder? Which option lines need to contain which folders? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keloran Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 you need 2 folders1 = files that are downloaded2 = torrent folder1 = c:\downloads\2 = c:\downloads\torrents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spudz Posted November 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 This doesn't work, at least as far as I'm understanding you.I have a directory with data and a directory with torrents. Folder Options -> Put New Downloads In : Data DirectoryFolder Optoins -> Move Completed Downloads To : Data DirectoryFolder Options -> Store Torrent Files In : Torrent DirectoryFolder Options -> Move Torrents : UncheckedOther Options -> Load Torrents Files In : Torrent DirectoryDelete Torrents instead of renaming : Unchecked.This loads the torrent files the first time, but if I shut down and restart they are no longer loaded.

abbad0n Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 I'm not having any reload issues and I have the following:Folder Options -> Put new downloads in : E:\filesFolder Optoins -> Move completed downloads to : UncheckedFolder Options -> Store .torrent files in : C:\btdownFolder Options -> Move .torrents for finished jobs to : C:\btfiniOther Options -> Automatically load torrents in directory : C:\btloadDelete Torrents instead of renaming : Checked.I have moved my .dat files to the same folder where utorrent.exe is.You might want to show us what your paths are. Maybe one of the more experience users could comment if this is actually an issue, but do you have spaces in your folder names? I've also noticed that when using the folder browser to select where you want things stored, it leaves off the trailing backslash. Try taking it removing it if you have them.Also to consider, could your .dat files be corrupt? Since it isn't working anyway, delete (or move) your current ones, start utorrent.exe to create new ones, and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spudz Posted November 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 Thanks abbad0n, your setup seems to be working for me (with the many different folders all filled with the same torrents). Although I did not check delete torrents instead of renaming. Spaces in names (folder or file) don't matter (I tested).Personally I find this whole system rather silly when I can do what I'm looking for with Azureus simply by putting torrents and data in one directory, but whatever. I guess that's the tradeoff for a smaller memory footprint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keloran Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 i dont get why my method doesnt work ?? (i havnet tested though)folder options -> put new downloads in <folder> <checked>folder options -> move completed <unchecked>folder options -> store torrents <folder> <checked>folder options -> move torrents <unchecked>other options -> automatic load <folder> <checked>logic would suggest that would work because hte files can be checked to make sure they are all there instead of having to redownload becasue they are getting moved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jroc Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 @Keloran:Well, I only have uT set where my .torrents go. Im not even using the other folder options. I always liked having the 'choose where to save...' pop up for some strange reason. I mention this cuz I never had the problem the orig poster described. Even using Az. And I been using Az for 2+ years. Looking at ur solution, it shoulda worked. Maybe when loading alot of finished torrents they need their own folder. Maybe that resume.dat file needs help sorting out what to do when its alot of files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that's the tradeoff for a smaller memory footprint.Glad it helped. The reason I set it up the way I did (and it needs delete torrents instead of renaming - or at least I think it does ) was to1) Not enable torrents to be opened directly by µTorrent (as it renames them in an unrecognizable way so I can't easily put into Azureus when DHT - 1.1.8 please - is needed).2) So I can determine what stage the torrent is even if µTorrent is closed.Example of usage:Download .torrent file (doesn't matter where). Can either save to any folder and then move to C:\btload or just save directly to folder. This allows program to automatically "load" torrent into program, after which it is moved to C:\btdown which is where all the unfinished torrents are located. After torrent is finished it then moves to C:\btfini so I know that unless I want to help upload on DHT in Azureus, I don't have to deal with it anymore.Of coures you could use a different file structure like below:c:\torrents\loadc:\torrents\unfinishedc:\torrents\finishedI'll probably move to that now that I've put more thought into it.
