ameinild Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 Do the developers read this forum??? This is a repost, since the forum get flooded, and I didn't get and answer...When I try to download any torrent from an RSS feed in uTorrent, I get the following error:Unable to load "<<torrent name>>": The system cannot find the path specified. !That is the exact error message I get, including strange punctuation with both . and ! (replace <<torrent name>>).I can download torrents normally with no problem whatsoever.I've changed the location of my torrents, and it saves to an external harddrive.Somebody on this planet knows what that error message means, and they're likely to read this forum...Thanx, Artur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 All settings from the Directories section of preferences please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ameinild Posted December 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 All directories exist on a USB hard disk. The directories have been changed from D: to F:, and I'm not interested in changing the drive letter back to D... EDIT: I've tried changing the letter back to D, but it still doesn't work when trying to download from an RSS feed. So it's not the drive letters as far as I can see...

DreadWingKnight Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 And 1> is there actually a space before the "T" in torrents in the folder name?2> Is the USB hard disk actually F: right now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ameinild Posted December 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Yes, I've browsed the folders, so the names are right. The USB disc is normally F (actually right now it's both D and F, but it shouldn't matter anyhow).I'm quite curious to what actually happens when you try to download from a RSS - what's the first things that happen? Isn't it that you download the torrent file from the tracker? And then load the torrent file into uT? Is there a temp dir between the downloaded torrent file, and the file that gets into uT? It would be nice to know the exact steps to determine what causes the error... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Remove the space from the folder name in both spots and try again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ameinild Posted December 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 No change. And it worked before I changed the disk. I have a feeling this has not so much to do with directories, but something to do with the way uT downloads from RSS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlefire Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 If it's not the preceding space causing trouble, it's a problem with your %TEMP% folder. Downloaded over 12,000 RSS torrents...You could download Process Monitor http://sysinternals.com and filter by utorrent.exe to check what happens during the process of feed update, mark torrents, download torrents, load torrents.

ameinild Posted December 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Ok I can see now that for some reason I have an invalid %temp% folder, it does not exist. The situation is now this:My temp folder points to:%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\TempBut when I try to open the %temp% folder windows thinks it should be:%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temp\1Why on earth does Windows add a \1 to my temp folder, has anyone ever experienced this???Anyway, I'll try to reboot and see if it helps...

thelittlefire Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Hmmmm. Indeed, does the same problem happen say if you try to "open" torrents from your browser, that saves to your temp folder for the browser, and then windows, then loads it to uT.

ameinild Posted December 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 No, it does not happen when I open torrents from the browser, downloading torrents from the web browser works fine. But I can just see now that the %temp% folder pointed to an invalid location, so it must be a Windows problem in some way. I've just rebooted, and it still thinks the dir should be "Temp\1" rather than "Temp". This is a Windows issue, I'll try and solve it some other way...
