DreadWingKnight Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Because something's not letting uT write the resume.dat file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twiggs396 Posted February 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 do you know what this could be i have recently transfered the partially complete downloads to resume downloading on my external hd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Is the external hard drive connected and active when uTorrent gets launched? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twiggs396 Posted February 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 no usually utorrent opens before the hd is active, i will take off the auto load with startup. then that should do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 That should fix things.Until the hard drive is active, uTorrent will think the files aren't there.If you activate uTorrent before the hard drive, it will force a re-check automatically because the files went missing.If you activate uTorrent after the hard drive, it shouldn't force a re-check.

jewelisheaven Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 When you close uT it is possible that the program exits before all the tasks are completed. You can try Ctrl-P -> Advanced -> bt.graceful_shutdown to see if that's the case. (This is an alternate explanation compared to write permissions) If so that means upon closing the uT process may "hang" in memory for a minute but it will close when done. Be sure the hard drive is connected UNTIL uT CLOSES. Feel free to report back results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twiggs396 Posted February 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 i just tried closing ut whilst i had active downloads, obviously with the hd all up and running fine. but when i open ut again 1 file is redy to download but all the others go through the checking process??

jewelisheaven Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 ... Did you enable graceful_shutdown? AFAIK finished downloads don't recheck, then again I've only had one or two times needing to recheck anything at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twiggs396 Posted February 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 i havnt yet but i will try that. AFAIK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 as far as I know. I've never heard about this recheck affecting seeding torrents however in recent memory I haven't even experienced this so I can't say for certain it's not happening the way you describe. Please be sure to check that the drive with your data is active before starting uT and checking permissions on your %APPDATA%\uTorrent folder as well.

twiggs396 Posted February 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 its just annoying as i have a file at the moment that is 59gb that takes ages to check Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 "ages" could be a sign you're not transferring as you should. If you get process explorer, and double click utorrent.exe while checking it should verify the disk statistics. (Speed tab, disk statistics in drop-down)... disk throughput should approach the limit of your connection based upon busspeed. If not (say it's going at 1-5 MiBps) then you should check device manager and verify your Hard Drive Controllers are "current transfer mode (U)DMA" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
