SolidasRock Posted December 3, 2005 Report Posted December 3, 2005 i have give utorrent a map to save all *.torrent and i noticed there are the SAME *.torrent in "Mijn Documenten" saved. i have check the preference a few times and i dont see why *.torrents are saved to "Mijn Documenten" too instead of my given map.
chaosblade Posted December 3, 2005 Report Posted December 3, 2005 Copies are made to %appdata%\uTorrent - This is how uT works - It needs those copies to maintain the list. Maybe if you're using an older OS (Win9x?) its a different folder.

Maybe if you're using an older OS (Win9x?) its a different folder.as long i have said: they are in "mijn documenten" and not in %appdata%\utorrent. i use XP SP2 Proffesional Dutch. my %appdata%\utorrent is at C:. "Mijn Documenten" is at D:. my given path for the *.torrent is I:. (yes i have 3 hdds).i dislike to see several *.torrent at "Mijn Documenten". how to stop it?
tjobo Posted December 3, 2005 Report Posted December 3, 2005 You are only supposed to have one appdata / system. So check your windows settings, this has nothing to with utorrent.utorrent saves torrents in %appdata%\utorrent . The system specifies %appdata% directory so if you have several %appdata% you will get duplicates.

chaosblade Posted December 3, 2005 Report Posted December 3, 2005 well, %appdata% is a system variable. uTorrent simply uses it.do this, Start -> Run -> CMDIn the command prompt, write 'echo %appdata%' without the quotes. Let us know what it writes.

Let us know what it writes.i know... i know, i am not a newbie.when typing echo %appdata% i get a message back with C:\documents and settings\solidasrock\application data\. i really hope i am clear enough now, so can we stop talking about %appdata%?
chaosblade Posted December 3, 2005 Report Posted December 3, 2005 Well, there's no reason uTorrent would make copies in Your documents. It only uses the %appdata% for that, Thats it, nothing more. You can try closing uTorrent, and move the .dat files to the same place as the .exe , that should make it write the copies in the same place as the .exe file.

chaosblade Posted December 8, 2005 Report Posted December 8, 2005 Figured as much. I told you, The only path uTorrent uses Built-in is %appdata%, It has no idea where "My Documents" is.uTorrent 1, Opera, NILL.
