nos_slived Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 Run "%APPDATA%\uTorrent". Click the torrents you want to re-add. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catman Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 Sorry nos_slived, I don't understand how or where you would run that thing...I have the same problem: lost data/torrents and while I'm at it, nothing works at all when I start the program back up. Don't even recall crashing, in fact the program has never crashed and I'm fairly sure my system didn't do down while it was running, although since this is XP anything at all is possible....

catman Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 I did it and got "appdata is not recognized as an internal or external command" ... tried it with and without the % sign. Am I missing something? This is Windows XP Pro SP2. I have no trouble running other typical commmands (all the usual network things -- ipconfig, dir, etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slipstream Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 There are two signs, not just one. And you should not try without them, since they designate that the enclosed word is an environment variable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catman Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 I did do it with both of them, still no go...but will try again. How can I determine the real directory that all of that stuff is in, or is it just a temporary one that vanishes when I reboot? I can 'see' all of the files that were downloaded (but are not complete), just can't get them back 'into' uTorrent's brain. Tried renaming them as with .!ut extension since that seems to be one of the options in ut, but they still wouldn't finish. Actually have only been able to get one torrent to start at all now. When I add more to the list, they simply won't run. Very peculiar.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajones81 Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 %AppData%\uTorrent = [Windows Drive]:\Documents and Settings\[user Name]\Application Data\uTorrentCheck if the torrents are saved there. If not, search your hard disk for them. If they're nowhere to be found, you'll have to track them down again (the same ones) and load them up, point them to the directory where the partially downloaded files are and force re-check all of them (this should happen automatically).If you do this, I'd recommend you reset the the append !ut option as it was earlier, and rename the files back to what they were while downloading, just to be sure.
