Version 1.3 "Error: Files missing from job. Please recheck" error

[davecorun]

I just installed the new version, and 2 of my larger torrents aren't starting. I should also mention that I haven't "skipped" any files from these torrents. In fact, I haven't touched them for a few days. I just upgraded to version 1.3 a few minutes ago.

Norton Internet Worm Protection also has an exclusion for uTorrent, but keeps slamming w/ alerts.

Any ideas?

Great program though, been using since 1.1!

Thanks!

Turn off the Worm Protection. It's broken. (like every Norton product)

Is compact allocation on? Turn it off, it's bugged. Stop the torrents, right click -> Force re-check. Might mean you moved/deleted one of the files accidentally. The check will fix it.

Also, if they were Unicode torrents, you can't re-use them in 1.3, because the old torrent has non-unicode filenames, while the new µTorrent is looking for Unicode filenames.

Awesome, how do I turn off compact-allocation though?

I've got uTorrent re-checking the files now. I didn't even think of that.

I don't believe they were unicode torrents, though they might have been?

If you didn't turn it on, it should be off by default. (it's in Advanced Options)

The re-check may fix it, but if it doesn't, it might've been the problem (check the filenames in the folder for any garbage characters)
