kevh100 Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Hi,I'm experiencing the same problem as the OP. I installed the latest utorrent 1.8 Beta onto a fairly fresh XP SP2 install. The first run screen popped up and I set my network speeds. I then added some new torrents to the list and left it running for a few hours with no problems. I exited utorrent first and then shut down the computer once it had cleanly exited.The next day I started the PC, let it finish loading and then started utorrent where I was presented with the screen that pops up when you first use it. I checked my settings and the changes I had made had reverted back. These messages appear in the log file:[2008-05-23 13:22:59] "The file 'C:\Documents and Settings\Kev\Application Data\uTorrent\resume.dat' was damaged/missing. It has been recovered."[2008-05-23 13:22:59] The file 'C:\Documents and Settings\Kev\Application Data\uTorrent\settings.dat' was damaged/missing. It has been recovered.If I exit utorrent and try to delete these files manually I am unable to do so and just get the XP "Access is denied" error message. I am running as a System Administrator and the security information for the utorrent folder and files shows that my user has full access.I've also noticed that uTorrent doesn't notice any new work downloaded since I last shutdown the client. For example, If I have 20% of a file by the time I first went to shut down the client, when I restart it it will carry on from 20%, good so far. If I then have completed 40% when I exit the client a second time it will show 20% when I start it again. It does see the extra downloaded data but only after I've forced a re-check of the files.If you need any more information just let me know and I'll provide it as soon as I can.Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
