Tretnol Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 Hello,I've been downloading many files on uTorrent for about a month now, all working fine. (I'm using 1.7.2, which I think is the latest) Today, for some reason, the files randomly stopped at about 36% or something. The status said:"Error: The request could not be performed because of an I/O Device Error."Now, I googled it, and it seems that it's a common problem, but I couldn't find any answers on the web. The FAQs on the main site, and the FAQs on this forum don't help. On #utorrent, I tried asking, and one guy asked about a drive letter or something, but unfortunately my computer disconnected and I didn't get to ask him. I don't know what a drive letter is :\Anyways, if anyone could help me to understand/fix the problem, it'd be greately appreciated. :] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soyroca Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 The same here too. this is the binnacle:1 - My computer freezes without any reason.2 - I shut down and turn on again the computer.3 - Then I opened the utorrent software.4 - Utorrent re-check the data previously downloaded until (in my case 25.4%) this message appears in the status: "Error: The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error."once upon a time I had the same error. but I read that I can solve this doing "something" that i can't remember exacty. I did something in the folders: "C:\Documents and Settings\********\Application Data\uTorrent"I don't know exactly what i did, but is like if I say that I must delete some files like "resume.dat" o repleace it with the "*.dat.old". I can't remeber and i can't find that again. any hints?. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajones81 Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 Are you downloading to a network share or USB drive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soyroca Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 I've been downloading 32 GB of Seinfeld. luckily the chapters comes detached each other. So i've been downloading the files in order. the fact is that I check out each chapter and play it until I find the crash one. at that point, obviously I delete the subsequent chapters and then began a clean download.i only lost one file. not much worries.I can't perform the chkdsk /f action because the partition it's full loaded hehe.No, i'm not using any network share and USB drive neither. Anyways... i'll still looking a real solution. i'm afraid that it happend again but with a *.iso or bigger files.thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 chkdsk /f will ask you to reboot if it can't do it at the moment. Schedule it, then reboot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
