golbez03 Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 hey ive been using azureus for a long time now but i always get my internet connection knocked out while im seeding overnight so i tried switching to utorrent and i have this one main problem.. i dont know how to just seed a file that i've already downloaded, i'll bring the torrent in using add torrent and then it starts downloading again. How do i just add a torrent file i've already downlaoded just so it seeds? sorry i'm kinda bad with utorrent.OK i kinda figured out how to do that now, but for some reason i could only seed like 5 torrents out of lik ethe 50 i have. when i open the torrent i uncheck start torrent, check open for seeding, and check super seeding option in advanced. Then i right clikc the file and hit force start. ALmost every torrent i do this with comes up with "error " files missing from job" And YES i did a search and no one really gave an answer in the few threads that were posted. As i said i had about 5 torrents actually start seeding which is weird i guess the rest about 45 of em keep getting that error. Please if you help me explain it to me well because im not to good with utorrent as of yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

golbez03 Posted February 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 you mean like when i open it up and check open for seeding and uncheck start torrent and check super seeding, then right click -> set download location? i tried both putting where the torrent file was located and where the files ended up being and then i tried starting them and got the same problem.

golbez03 Posted February 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 i rather use azureus seeing that im really used to it and its very user friendly, but it always knocks out my internet connections when im seeding files during the night and i leave my computer idle. Im really willing to give this aa shot though cuz it doesnt use any where as much resources as azureus, whcih is a very good thing considering i only have 128mb of ram.

tlock65 Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 I just tried utorrent for the first time last night, & I'm getting the same "file missing" message when trying to up a torrent. I really like the prog., and would like to switch completely from azureus.....anyone found a solution? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Are you choosing to "open file for seeding" in the add torrent dialog box?check open for seedingLooks like you are. Don't. If files are missing from the batch for whatever reason (disk damage, skipping, etc) this won't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firon Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 That means you pointed it to the wrong folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tlock65 Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 I got this from another forum, & it worked for me:utorrent is touchy about hash checking it is the only thing that sucks about it. You need to fiddle around and get your hash check to say 100% in order to get that error to go away it always takes me three hash checks to get it right.Right click on the torrent -->set download location-->browse then click the folder that contains your files hit ok then right click the torrent again-->force recheck. See if your completion % on the torrent line that you right clicked is at 100%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
