sak224 Posted July 21, 2007 Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 I recently downloaded a file containing ~18 different .mpg parts; however, only two of the parts show up in the folder I specified! I can easily watch all of the parts by double clicking on the individual file names listed under the file tab of utorrent. I've searched my hard drive for all .mpg files and only the two in the folder I specified are listed! These files have to be somewhere on my hard drive if I can access and watch them through utorrent...Right?? I really want to transfer these files to an external hard drive, so I would greatly appreciate any help or advise you can give. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 O.oRight-click the torrent and open containing folder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sak224 Posted July 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 Thanks for the suggestion, but it takes me to the same folder which contains only 2 of the 18 parts that I downloaded. I'm utterly confused since all 18 parts are listed under the file tab, and I can watch them, but only 2 show up in the folder. I tried opening the individual mpg files in media player and look at the properties and file location. It says the file is located in the folder I specified, but they are not there when I look or search my hard drive. Anyway, thanks again for your advice.

Saribro Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 Hm, open file and folder options and allow hidden files to be shown? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArlyNow Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 Exactly what I was going to say. Then when you view the hidden files, go into their Properties and change them from Hidden by un-ticking the box next to Hidden. You should be able to view the files as normal now.

sak224 Posted July 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 Thank you for the advice Saribro and ArlyNow. I tried this and only one other file, a database file (Thumbs.db), showed up in this folder. I also tried to search my entire hard drive for all .mpg files again and none of the other files I'm looking for showed up. But again, I can still open them from uTorrent. This is complete craziness!!! I can't figure out what could possibly be going on. Thanks again for your help though! Hopefully this mystery will be solved soon.

ArlyNow Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 I think you might be talking about files that are in a RAR or Zip Archive that are spanned.In that case you need to use the extract feature from the first Archive File to see all 18.At this point, this thread might be deleted because of Forum Rules.

Saribro Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 Is the directory the size it should be with all the parts? If so, besides just showing hidden files, also enable system files to show from the files and folders options.And after that I'm out of ideas .
