mpqo Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 First have a look here: http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?pid=360769#p360769I'm asking this (i believe that i'm not alone on this situation) because if you have 500 or 600 torrents loaded it gets very annoying to have them all rechecked again without any reason.I'm asking for a way to force uTorrent check if the source (the external HDD this case) is present BEFORE loading the torrents so this error will be prevented.PS: Yes sometimes i may forget to turn on the HDD.

Firon Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 My external drive drops out all the time and it never rechecks the torrents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 He may not be running the same (latest) uTorrent version as you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpqo Posted December 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 Bump..?Perhaps something for 1.9.x ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlefire Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 Utility-added, sure. You should still not leave torrents running especially in a uTorrent where your data is on an external drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpqo Posted December 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 This is not the point.uTorrent starts automatically on system startup but for some reason the external HDD may be turned off.If you have 500 torrents they ALL need recheck.This behavior is very very very annoying.

Firon Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 I still don't know why yours need to recheck. I never need to when my external drops out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecwfrk Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 Most likely, since the HDD is not there when he starts uTorrent all the torrents give a "Files missing from job. Please recheck." error and he doesn't know that once the files are restored to where uTorrent expects them to be, you can just Start them back up by highlighting them and hitting start without the need for a recheck.Basically, he's being misled by the error into thinking he needs to do a recheck before starting the torrent. I had the same problem the first few times I encountered that error. After all, it does ask nicely Perhaps uTorrent could continue checking for the existence of files on torrents with that error so once the files are replaced/reappear uTorrent will automatically clear the error and mark them as stopped instead. Or even just reword the error so it's less confusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpqo Posted December 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 I tried with the "start" and not with "force recheck" as you said.It's the same behavior.It starts to check again the torrent(s). Have a look on the screenshot.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
