punkbohemian Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 I'm using uTorrent on a USB drive and it seems to only work if the drive letter corresponds to the drive letter it was on when I installed the program. I already went through all the preferences and settings to change it to the new drive letter, but it's still attempting to refer to the original drive letter (and therefore I get "not found" errors when trying to dl torrents).Part of the problem might be that I don't have a settings.dat file in the same directory as uTorrent.exe, but this file wasn't generated during the installation so it doesn't exist period.Anyone know how to fix this? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Stop the torrent/s in question, do a force recheck AFTER changing to the new drive letter, restart the torrent/s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thelittlefire Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 You should be able to use local-pathing in the Preferences (ONLY IN 1.8) and the paths should update correctly no matter the drive letter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punkbohemian Posted July 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 For some reason, I started working again all on its own. If it acts up again, I'll try these suggestions.As for 1.8, I've read that the many of the improvements (like being self-referential) will make it a lot easier to run on a USB. I plan to get it when it's finally stable, but in the meantime, I'm making the best of 1.7x. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlefire Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 It's stable for many people... and doesn't crash (that often) as you see from the crafty changelog However it's true you do suffer the growing pains of an almost-mature version, heh.
