Plz Help, All Files Gone!

[Dreadi]

hi

recently i was downloading with uTorrent 1.8 and suddenly my pc hanged (or may be crashed), nothing was working (e.g. Win key, Task Manager & etc) so i restarted my pc and run uTorrent again. i've noticed there were nothing in download list, all files were gone, i had some files advanced up to 80% and 90%

i've even used system restore and it didn't work

is there anyway that i can restore those?

(and i have the original torrent files)

thanks guys

Your torrents are already copied for you where uT would look for them http://utorrent.com/faq.php#Where_are_the_settings_and_.torrent_files_stored.3F

As far as a procedure to do.. you can follow the migration guide from http://utorrent.com/guides.php as well as search for "lost resume.dat" (the file which was corrupted and loaded as 0-bytes) which is why you see a blank torrent pane.

I have just had the identical problem - system hung, I restarted and all of my torrents in the download list were gone. Fortunately, all of the downloads had been completed, but I had a lot that I was leaving open as seeds. When I tried to reload them (copied from my .torrent directory), they showed as "checking" in the status column, but never started uploading, so I deleted them.

While not a critical matter right now, if anyone has any insight about why this happened it would be good to know.

Only one torrent at a time will recheck. So if you had a lot of torrents in checking status, you just need to wait for it to go through the list one by one.

If you're likely to have problems like this, make regular backups of your settings directory, OR check your resume.dat BEFORE opening uTorrent. http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=31306 has saved me many hours of re-entry.
