Skip check when file source returns ?

[barrycj]

I keep all my torrents and downloads on an external HD.

If I start my machine with the drive disconnected, utorrent correctly reports that all the files are missing, however it re-checks everything when the drive is re-connected.

Is there a way to skip this re-check, other than running utorrent from the external drive?

Start uTorrent after connecting the external drive.

The drive in question is a media drive which has to have the usb connection removed from the machine to play media (very annoying!).

The problem occurs when I forget to plug it back in and utorrent is run - normally at boot.

It takes a day to re-check everything!

Hence my original post.

Use 1.8, it may not do that IF you have a correct saved state with the auto recheck.

Thanks for that, I will look at 1.8 when it comes out of beta.

In the meantime I have written a batch file to start uTorrent but ONLY if a file on the H drive is visible. This works well under Win98 but I can't figure out how to automatically close the command window it leaves behind in Vista.
