weeep Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 The problem is:If I have power failure or BSOD and have to reboot my computer, the torrent list is the same as I had when was closing uTorrent with File -> Exit. All new torrents that were added since new uTorrent launch are lost.Luckily I could restore them from .loading files in temp directory and continue downloading. But once I have lost all my progress on 1.5G file and had to re-download it from the beginning I'm using the latest currently available version.

Kazuaki Shimazaki Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Step 1: Find out exactly where you told uT to stash your 1.5MB file.Step 2: Load the torrent.Step 3: Select wherever you have been stashing it as the destination point.Step 4: Right click on torrent, select Force Recheck. uT would parse the stuff you have downloaded so far.Step 5: Continue.

Switeck Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 You need to run CHKDSK/SCANDISK if you have a system crash like that!All or nearly all of your files that are lost can be recovered that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeep Posted January 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 The problem is not in my broken file, but in the fact, that uTorrent saves torrents list and torrents' state ONLY if closed through main menu. The program must also save its state every time when this state is changed.Andthe file was not lost - only its current state was lost, so there was no need in running chkdsk.

chaosblade Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 Perheps the settings\resume info and other things that are only saved on uTorrent's closure could be done on a timed manner, like every 10mins or so (Like word's automatic save, for example).

Firon Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 I think the latest beta doesn't behave like this anymore, at least it hasn't for me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kokobaroko Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 yes, 421 saves "some" of the info in some backup file, I had all of my active torrents restored after the simulated crash (hit reset button), but downloaded&stopped ones were gone and had to be added manually again bringing back the http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=5703 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
