Panthermica Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 my torrent folder was deleted by my son and now uTorrent will not continue downloading.I was 80% complete of 3.86 gig. I do not wish to re-start from scratch. The 80% is still on my HDD but after following some other suggestions...It still will not allow me to RESUME.I re-started / loaded the .torrent file into uTorrent again but it went back to 0.00 downloaded...my 80% was lost.**"set download location" in the advanced drop down is not selectable**"relocate" in the drop down menu in the "FILES" tab is also faded out and non-selectable.If anyone understands my rant here...could you please offer some help.Thankyou in anticipation..

moogly Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 A good tip is to create a storage folder of .torrents in %appdata%/utorrent (where they are by default). All your settings (.dat .torrent etc..) are in the same folder and you can back up them regularly.So reload the .torrent in uT (retrieve it from the tracker/indexer) and choose the good folder where are your uncompleted data when you see the Dialog Box.Or if you have still reloaded the torrent, stop it, right click on it then Advanced > Set Dwl Location. Restart the torrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panthermica Posted January 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 Cheers for the quick reply.I did as u suggested by setting the download location... yet it still wont recognise the previously downloaded data of the major file.What is it im not seeing?

moogly Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 Your torrent is a folder or just a single file ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panthermica Posted January 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 My torrent is in a folder.... containing 3 files.. 2 small...and 1 largethe 2 small files are already complete, therefore I assume I only need to select the larger one which is not complete?Am I wrong :$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogly Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 Because you need to select the folder where are your data, not the folder containing this folder.If the folder of the torrent is \Folder and the folder where are your torrent is \Download, you need to select the location e.g.C:\...\Download\FolderStop the torrent.Change the location as previously.Force a recheckRestart the torrent.

Panthermica Posted January 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 Thanks heaps...The "Force Re-Check" did the trick.... it was the step I was missing. I kept the torrent stopped to when I forced the re-check. Finally I can relax....Thankyou Greatly MOOGLY!!!!Panthermica... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
