Rob8UrChips Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Hi uGurus,Got the "Error: Files missing from job. Please recheck." on 1 of 3 active torrents.The error appeared after downloading Microsoft auto-Updates and rebooting (once uTorrent had already stopped all active torrents and had been Exited).The job on my C-drive was ~75% complete, but after a Force Re-check the job is starting afresh as if the 2.73GB isn't there - which it is, but uTorrent isn't recognising the part-job upon restart of the torrent. And I don't have enough disk-space to restart unless I delete what's already done.I've currently stopped the torrent.The other two torrents are on my F-drive and are unaffected.How do I persuade uTorrent to pick up the 2.73GB of files please?And is there anything I should do to avoid a repeat error?I'll continue to lurk here at the forum if you need to ask me any questions.Thanks guys.EDIT: Here's a few things that didn't work.1. I moved the target folder, removed and deleted data for the torrent, then restarted the torrent anew using the new target with the 2.73GB of part-files. Got message saying I don't have enough disk space, continue anyway? I clicked No.2. Opened the new target folder with the .dat and .lut part-files. Right-clicked on the .dat > Properties > Opens with - Change... > uTorrent > OK > Apply > OKDid the same with .lutOpened the .torrent > selected in dialog box the new target folder with the part-files newly associated with uTorrent > OKand was again told there was insufficient disk-space. I clicked No again, and I'm back at having 2.73GB of files I can't yet utilise.Any ideas uGuru guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hermanm Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Click OK, stop the torrent, and do a force re-check. Hopefully, the percentage meter will increase as the force re-check is occurring.Consider getting a bigger hard drive. 750GB models are coming down in price...

Rob8UrChips Posted October 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 The file and data was deleted after I moved the 2.73GB (ie ~75% of the download) to a different folder, so there's nothing to re-check unless uTorrent can pick up the 2.73GB of part-files in the new location.Any other ideas?

DreadWingKnight Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Follow the migration guide on the files in the new locationhttp://utorrent.com/migration_guide.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob8UrChips Posted October 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 OK, had a look at that and will give it a go.What do I do with the .dat file after I've removed .lut from all the other files? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 the partfile?Consider it gone unfortunately, there's no way for uT to separate it out and recognize it as part of the incomplete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob8UrChips Posted October 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 OK, that's cool - still better than having to d/l a full 2.73GB.Y'see, the rumours ARE true, you are a uGuru. Thanks.And sorry I didn't see the Migration article listed in the FAQ page - I thought I'd looked closely at each header. Wish me luck....EDIT: Got my 74% all back and is resuming normally - although it briefly flashed up an error message that another process was using it. I clicked on Start again, and it seems to be OK.Thanks again - but I may have to visit you again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
