tweaker Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 I have a folder setup for my torrent files but uTorrent isn't loading them when new ones appear. Is there a setting I've missed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 That doesn't give enough information. OK you setup a folder. Great where is it? In Ctrl-P -> Other what settings have you changed there? Do you have a default save folder? When you add the torrents, do they disappear or rename as .torrent.loaded ?

tweaker Posted April 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 Sorry here's some more specific info. It's setup for N:\Temp for the auto-load torrents. I have the delete .torrent instead of renaming when loading checked. No other option is setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 OK, so does N: exist? When you add the torrent to \Temp does it disappear and uT loads it into torrent storage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tweaker Posted April 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Yes, N: is a real drive. If I put a .torrent file in this folder it does not disappear and get loaded into utorrent. That's the issue I'm having. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Hmm :/ OK, verify Windows paths it correctly by using the Browse (...) button... then use explorer to check properties on that folder... Be sure you have (and uT by association) read and write privileges to that directory There aren't many other explanations... either uT doesn't see the folder or can't access it.

tweaker Posted April 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 OK I verified the (...) button and I see the N:\Temp folder without a problem. I went to the General section and clicked the [Associate with .torrent files]. Still doesn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Is this folder different from the .torrent storage folder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tweaker Posted April 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 I don't have a .torrent storage folder setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 (This may sound stupid, but uh, it's happened before... so just to weed out possibilties...)Make sure you've selected "All" in the category pane (F7) in µTorrent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tweaker Posted April 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 I thought of that too But sadly yes, I'm looking at the All (0) field. There is a {blockedname}.torrent file in N:\temp and uTorrent is not finding it.OK on a whim I tested a different drive letter and folder and auto-load works. Eh.. technology. Go figure.

Ultima Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Hrm. What kind of drive is N:\? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tweaker Posted April 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Mapped network drive shared between two computers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 What about the LOCAL settings/permissions on that drive/path? LOL Sorry I didn't ask all this up front. Ultima of course picked up the slack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 @tweaker: I have a feeling it being a mapped network drive might be the source of your problem (though I can't be sure -- I'm confirming with alus). Um, is the second drive letter you tested a normal drive, or is it also a mapped network drive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Hazel Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 uTorrent reads the entire contents of the directory every 2 seconds. You could verify this with Process Monitor. Network drives should work, although it does try both read and write permissions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 I only get torrents to load at the 6-second increment level. This is as far back as I can remember. Is this a recent change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
