Error msg: Error can't open torrent file .............. ?

[peterlo]

I'd like a spot of help here please:

I usually have about 50 torrents earmarked for dwnld & therefore visible in the dwnld pane. I add to these, or make changes by "adding torrents", or by rightclicking & perhaps pausing or stopping or allocating bandwidth.

When I exit Utorrent, or encounter the occasional crash, or maybe my AV decides it needs to re-boot the system (Win XP_SP2) ............. most of my dwnlds cease & disappear from the dwnld pane & show up in the "inactive" pane bearing the error msg above.

So far the only way I can get them reactivated is to first remove the inacvtive torrent file, & then add the torrent back.

This is painfull & lengthy.

How do I prevent thuis behaviour if I need to exit the program or close my internet connection?

Rgds,

Pete

In the General tab it will say the status message. What is wrong with the torrent file? Open that location... does the drive exist?

[peterlo]

As you suspected I am sure; "the file path does not exist" when I try to "open the containing folder".

I can't understand this, because obviously, when opening a torrent, I navigate to the folder containing all my "proposed Utorrent dwnlds".

Surely the program knows this & why would the path link disappear when I exit Utorrent?

I don't know what else to say that might help, but I am very tired of repeating the time consuming reloading of torrents.

K, where is it thinking the torrents are being stored? What is the status message.

[peterlo]

I'm not exactly sure what your question to me is.

But as I have said the error message in the status column is:

"Error can't open torrent file"

Now as to where the program thinks the torrent files are stored I am unsure, but under Preferences:

I have entered a folder for "proposed downloads",

And the "move completed downloads" also shows a folder: "Completed dwnlds".

Does this help you & answer the question you asked me.

Thanks

Pete
