Xe Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 OK so I loaded another similar torrent file thinking I could get extra trackers from it. But instead of asking me if I wanted add the trackers to the torrent that was already downloading. it just opened a new torrent started downloading and used the same directory and files as the first torrent. Then it re-checked the torrent and now both say ~40% where as the original torrent was 90% complete. Now what ever I try I cant get back to 90% complete. Has this 2nd torrent deleted 50% of my downloaded files?Is there anyway to check, or get back to my 90% complete torrent? I have tried to explain this the best I could, not sure of the correct terminology. Really appreciate any help as torrent is 25 gig and taken ages to almost download and I messed it up :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 The same data with different INFOHASH (different piecesize, different organization, etc) will show up as a new entry in the list. It's odd it wouldn't recheck first. Did you set the directory manually, or did it auto-save there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xe Posted May 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 It auto saved there.Just checked the recycle bin and found one of the old files in there. So I restored it and re-checked it, and now the files is reloaded and I'm up to 50% complete now. But where did the other files go?My setup is as following:Main torrent download dirinside that I have a +Torrent folder with all incomplete files and torrents. When they are complete they are automatically moved to the main torrent directory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 Did you remove the old torrent? I don't think anything is ever removed without prompting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xe Posted May 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 Not sure what happened. But I deleted all torrents, loaded the original torrent, and still my completed % is 50%. So somehow a whole bunch of stuff that I already downloaded has just vanished, except for one of the files that I found in the recycle bin and restored it. Which got me from 40% to 50%.

Switeck Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 Do a scandisk on your hard drive/s before the now-missing files are overwritten!Rename the recovered files back to what they're supposed to be.(Good luck figuring out which is which!)

Xe Posted May 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 I will try that next time, as I'm already back up to 90% complete. As this has happened once before to me. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
