Captain Kirk Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 I am having some issues with utorrent finding files after I have removed them from the default download directory. After moving them into the new folder I right click on the torrent, click advanced-set download location, and then force-recheck. It will not find it and acts as if it wants me to download it again. I have been using utorrent for years and this is a new problem that has come up since a recent reinstall on Windows Home Server. I also have many files that I would like to reseed from before i reinstalled WHS but these behave the same way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 When you use "Set Download Location...", are you selecting the actual directory in which the files are located, or are you selecting the container directory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Kirk Posted April 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 Yes, I have tried both. Neither one works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hermanm Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 It could be a lot of different reasons:* Is the new location a network drive? Is your workstation connected to the network drive? * You really are not pointing to the right directory.* The piece hash don't match.You can try a tool such as FileMon to help you troubleshoot.

Captain Kirk Posted April 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 Thanks for everyone's help. Weirdest thing happened. My server auto updated with windows update and automatically restarted. The first time I logged on after the restart everything was working properly. Not sure what happened but it solved itself. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamryan Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 I'm having this same problem. I'll change the directory location of the completed download (specifically: I added an internal hard drive which I run as slave, and stored my completed files there), then do the Advanced -> Set Download Location , and change it to the new directory, and it'll scan to see how much is completed and either A) show that i've downloaded MOST of the file or Show that i haven't downloaded it at all.I don't get it, there are files which CLEARLY have finished downloading, which work perfectly, yet uTorrent doesn't recognize the WHOLE file when it scans for it. what could be causing this problem?thx,-adamryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogly Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 yet uTorrent doesn't recognize the WHOLE file when it scans for it.What do you mean? A finished torrent appears like incomplete after changing the storage location and forcing a recheck? If yes, where are located the red pieces (check Files tab)?

adamryan Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 Yes, that is exactly my problem. The red files appear to still be in the same folder as all of the other "blue" ones, it just doesn't recognize that I have the full file. For example, I have a file that I KNOW I HAVE completely which is 9.11 MB. When I force a recheck, it says I only have 2.33 MB of the file. What does this mean?-adamryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogly Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 Where are the red missing pieces after a recheck? At each file end? Did you skip some files in this torrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamryan Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 I didn't skip any files. And they are in the same folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogly Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 And after a recheck when uT says the files are not complete, are they still readable (like with a player for movie/audio files e.g.)?Are you sure your internal hd doesn't have issues like bad sectors?

adamryan Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 Yeah, they still play. And idk if there are bad sectors. How do i tell if there are bad sectors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Kirk Posted April 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 That is a little different from the problem I was having. Mine would just recheck and find 0%. Good luck with this. I'm sure there is enough knowledge on this board for you to get to the bottom of the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 Kirk, are you renaming files after moving? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
