Firon Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Are you writing to an external drive? If not, this means that your drive is faulty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firon Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Well, if you use an external drive, it's possible that the drive letter has changed, which would make µTorrent freak out. If that is the case, stop the torrent, right click -> Advanced -> Set Download Location and point it to the correct path. If it is not, then it means the drive is faulty.

chrisch Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 Thnx for your help, but the drive letter is still the same as before. What do you mean "faulty"? In "My Computer" window i can open and explore the HDD (copy/paste/remove files etc.) without any problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
