aNDRo Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Hello. I'm a new user to utorrent, switching from azureus.Here's a screenshot of my problem:"accesso negato" means "access denied".Torrent files are all (working and non-working) from the same tracker, and are NOT multitracked.Working torrents are both batch and simple torrents.Non-working torrents are both batch and simple torrents.Files are not shared with any other p2p software, and they're not locked by windows, checked with "unlocker" and rebooted my system several times.Files are 100% perfect and crc matches. File check is successful.I tried moving files to another position, renaming them, making new torrent files, deleting old .torrent files, reinstalling utorrent and downloading fresh .torrents.Any idea? (I give you the tracker url if you need it).(keep up the good work!)P.S.: Seeding via azureus works without problems...edit: "clean" system (winXP sp2), no viruses, trojans and spywarez... ports are correctly forwarded on my router (zyxel 600), windows firewall disabled, router firewall disabled, soft. firewall sygate correctly configured, no google or msn desktop useless stuff installed...

maestro_black Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 Join the club mate. I've had this same problem as well, and done pretty much every check under the book. No resolution so far.My solution was to switch back to azureus for seeding those torrents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 Are the files read only? Do you have MSN Desktop or Google Desktop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aNDRo Posted November 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 Are the files read only? Do you have MSN Desktop or Google Desktop?Yeah, they ARE read only, since I need 'em to be seeded only...no google or msn desktop useless stuff installed...Join the club mate.

Firon Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 Don't use read only, that causes the error. :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaosblade Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 Wanting to seed them doesnt mean they have to be read only.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aNDRo Posted November 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 You're right, it works removing the read only status from it.. but why utorrent needs them to be writeable if they're gonna be read only for seeding? and why should I risk accidental modifying of those files? I guess this is a bug... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keloran Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 how would you risk modifyin teh files, do you go around randomlly adding stuff to them ??/me always wonders why the pharse "I might get hit by a bus crossing the road" got started to people not look when they are crossing the road ??same thing applys here, if you dont know what your doing then if you do somethign dont complain at a problem caused by yourself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aNDRo Posted November 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 little kids that goes around saying "1 now mor 10 U, n00b" is one of the things I hate most.if you give me a good reason to explain the need of leaving a file writeable when you only need to READ it then, please, tell me.

Firon Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 don't all the BT clients open the files with exclusive access?I don't see why you need to leave it as read only, were µTorrent to write to the files, it'd be to fix bad pieces...

aNDRo Posted November 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 nope. not all clients open files with exclusive access... since with azureus I've never had this kind of problems... (well.. I had lots of other problems tho ^^)I don't want µTorrent (or any other client) to write my files to "fix bad pieces", since those files are perfect and don't need to be changed.No problem, anyway I'm glad to have found where the problem is I just hope they fix this in next version..

Firon Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 we can't reproduce the access denied error, oddly enough...tried setting the file and all folders to read-only, but it kept working, even through restarts of the client. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maestro_black Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 Could be a disk error related problem. Scandisk/chkdsk on next reboot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aNDRo Posted November 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 hm... I'll try keeping those files writeable for a bit and see what happens.. thanks for your help everyone @maestro: my hard drives are RAID 1.. I really don't think the disk error could be probable... anyway, I'll check for that on my next reboot.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaudiuS Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 One reason it might need to be writeable is that when utorrent loads a torrent it ads a new extension to it after *.torrent, it's renamed to *.torrent.loaded. Maybe to ensure exclusive rights.I've discovered a problem related: dir with working torrents contains a load of earlier torrents, still having extension loaded, despite they are no longer in use.

aNDRo Posted November 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 looks like this has been fixed in 1.2.1 final thank you now I can let "my paranoia" flow free and set everything read only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
