Thunder Posted October 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 I don't realy understand since the screenshot that I can give to you is utorrent's empty window (no tasks). :s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 Provide a screenshot, and we'll decide how useful it is :|Edit: But I just realized you said it occurred after an improper PC stop (shutdown?)... in which case, the resume.dat file probably got corrupted. So you're probably going to have to reload the .torrent files from %appdata%\uTorrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alzee77 Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 I have had a similar problem to Thunder. But my PC is shutdown properly. Thunder, when you go back on to utorrent do you get a pop-up utorrent window kinda suggesting that you specify your access speed in order to optimise performance?I don't know the solution to this yet, but it is a nuisance.Win XP, AOL, uTorrent 1.7.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 Close µTorrent before shutting down. And try turning on bt.graceful_shutdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkZeta Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 I'm having the same problem since last friday (12-28), my computer was shutdown properly but the next time i started µtorrent (i didn't add nor delete any torrent) everything on the tasks window was gone. I can still see in the left bar the amount of things i'm downloading, the ones completed, active or inactive, i can see the speed to wich µtorrent is downloading and uploading, that means everything is working fine except that i cannot see the torrents individual status.I have closed µtorrent manually and restarted it, and the problem continues, I have closed µtorrent manually, restarted my computer, and started µtorrent manually and the problem is still there.I still don't know what may be the cause, i have tried with the preferences but nothing seems to work... any suggestion is welcome...BTW, I'm using vista, and µtorrent 1.7.5.

DarkZeta Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 Here,As you can see, there's nothing on the main screen even tough i'm downloading a lot of things... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 Looks like something majorly corrupted parts of the settings.Delete the settings.dat (and .dat.old) from %appdata%\uTorrent (don't touch resume.dat) and try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkZeta Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 That won't affect any of the downloads, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 That's right (the reason why I said to save resume.dat is because that's where the task information is stored) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b003 Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 Hmmmmm... I experienced the same thing. Too bad I can't blame it on vista. I'm using XP. So are we deleting all, but the resume.dat? I only ask because unless it's lengthy restore process I believe this isn't working for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 deleted only settings.dat and settings.dat.old Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mercwnz Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 Backup corrupt files? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajones81 Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 Nope, I backup regularly when I have shut down uTorrent and it has worked fine. Once the files are RARed, they hardly take up any space at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b003 Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 I think you are misunderstanding. I have all of my files, but when the "incident" happened the Utorrent data which says this goes here and there was corrupted so I havere associate files to there respective drives. Now I have to reconstruct my little layout. Data fine... locations not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajones81 Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 I meant "I backup the uTorrent settings directory regularly when I have shut down uTorrent and it has worked fine." I didn't mean backup all the files that were being downloaded or had been downloaded (that's a different issue altogether).A regular settings backup would have saved you much grief as I see it.

b003 Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 Yep sounds good to me, I just wish I new what caused it in the first place. I mean if it happened on a regular basis I would have switched clients a long time ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajones81 Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 No, thank heavens it never happens on a regular basis! In fact, it's never happened to me yet but it helps to be a bit paranoid, eh? No use crying over spilt milk as they say...Re. the cause, well the incorrect PC stop probably came at an inopportune time for you when uTorrent was saving its settings, and they got corrupted as a result. Can't be helped I guess, unless it was a power failure, in which case a UPS comes in handy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
