darkred Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 uTorrent saves the torrent files for every job in a folder called utorrent\torrents.So, I'd like it to give a warning when I try to redownloard a torrentthat I had downloaded+finished before (and even if it's torrent still exists in utorrent\torrents).Now, it gives you a popup only a) when you try to add a torrentwhen it's currently running (and asks you whether to add it's trackers in it)...OR when it's completed (=you haven't pressed 'Remove' in the Completed Jobs list) and seeding.Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 It doesn't keep track of torrents that aren't loaded in the client, even if they're located in that folder. As far as it's concerned, the torrents don't exist if they aren't loaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkred Posted January 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Yes, but wouldn't it be better if utorrent did keep track of the torrents?Now, quite frequently, I have to manually check the \torrents folder to make sure that I haven't downloaded a torrent before,or -if I have to deal with many torrent files- I even have to save the torrents as files in a folderand them check them against the \torrents folder for duplicates..

DreadWingKnight Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 That would just turn it into "just another p2p app" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkred Posted January 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 I definitely disagree.In fact, at least for me,this little improvement is all that utorrent needs at this point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkred Posted August 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 I suggest another thing then:-provided that the user has set utorrent to "store .torrent files" in a folder- whenever the user tries to load a torrent, for which the .torrent file already exists in the folder mentioned above (therefore utorrent will have to overwrite that file in order to store it), to get a warning that the torrent file he tries to load already exists, so it's possible that he may have already downloaded it previously, and to confirm whether he wants to continue or not.In other words, I'm talking about a simple checking, whether the loaded .torrent file already exists -no "track keeping" of any sort-.
