kev500 Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 Hi,I downloaded files from two very large torrents. As they were downloading (and once finished) they were seeding, albeit quite slowly.I accidentally removed the torrents from my list. I went to the folder with the torrent files and re-opened them into utorrent. For some reasons they will not seed now.I want to seed them to get my ratio back up. I am pretty new to this stuff...what am I doing wrong??I'd appreciate any help at all...thanks.EDIT:40 views and no reply...does my question not make sense?...am I not providing enough information?...or are newb questions ignored?EDIT 2:OKay more views and no replies...let me expand on my problem (in case it makes ANY difference to someone responding).I completed downloading all the files within the two torrents I referred to above. As I said, I accidentally deleted both from my list on the utorrent screen.When I click on the torrents and choose 'open', they show up again in utorrent...BUT...they begin downloading again (even though I already have all the files). I click on the files list immediately to choose 'don't download' for each of the files. The arrow beside the torrents turns to a red download arrow and becomes inactive. But it does NOT begin seeding.What am I doing wrong? Anyone?Bueller?Bueller?Wow, these forums are sooo helpful.Not one person, not a mod...can help me??

torrero Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 start the torrent, then stop it. copy and paste your data into download folder.now rightclick the torrent and select force re-check. It will jump up to 100% and seeding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev500 Posted February 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 Thanks torrero...I really appreciate the reply.I tried doing what you said.The data I downloaded is in the folder where my utorrent downloads go to. After I start, stop and force re-check the torrents, there is activity as they are checked...but after checking to 100%, seeding does not begin...the torrents sit inactive (with a grey circle) beside them.I am sorry...as I said this stuff is kinda new to me...any other advice?

NoOneButMe Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 Did you move or modify the data in any way? Change the download directory? That could affect uTorrent's ability to see the files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev500 Posted February 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 Well, with the help from you guys, I was able to force re-check the torrents and it seems to work.....BUT....one torrent goes up to 97% an the other to 98%....they have a red arrow beside them and are not seeding.I went through the files from each torrent that I did and didn't download and changed the ones I never downloaded to "skip" in the file list, which helped boost them up to the 97 and 98% levels.Does the fact that they are not going to 100% mean that I must have modified the data (even though I do not remember doing so).What are my options here now?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erlend29 Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 The same happened to me. Must be a bug. I accidentially changed an image file in a 10gb ELP torrent, but when uTorrent did a re-check, it also reduced the size of several adjacent files, eg. taking an xxx.ape file from 100% to 98.5% or something. Now I cannot finish the torrent, and seed to others (the torrent doesn't connect to the torrentserver). Must be a bug in the recheck function of the program or something (this is with v0.9.1)This is with torrents.ru though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
