asy Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 I apologise in advance if this is already answered somewhere. I've trolled the forum, the FAQ and the web, but can't find the answer...I am downloading a torrent which is 15.8gb in size. It was 98.5% downloaded (it has been sitting at 98.5 for a week, darn when people stop seeding...), and there was another torrent downloading at nearly 8gb, with 32% downloaded. However, I had to reboot the computer. When it came back, my hard drive (to which my torrents save) wasn't connecting properly. I reconnected it, but all the torrents said "error, try restarting torrent".So, I pressed 'start' on utorrent to get them to start downloading again, but, the 8gb one just took up where it left off, however the big one has re-set to "0% Done".The downloaded files are there. I've checked. But alas, it's telling me that it's at 0%.Does this mean it's going to try to download the whole darned thing again?????How can I get the system to 'see' that most of the files are already downloaded?Thanks...asy.

DreadWingKnight Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 Did you force a re-check after getting the drive connected?Did the drive's letter change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asy Posted August 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 Hi,I did not force a re-check. Should I have? I used "start" not "force-start" or anything else (to the best of my memory).The drive's letter did not change, it's still F: The download directory's address and location haven't changed and the data is still in the right file (as far as I can see). I checked the properties of the file and it's showing as 15.6Gb of data, and all the file names look right.Thanks, I appreciate your help. asy.

asy Posted August 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 Thanks, I've tried, but, for some inexplicable reason "force re-check" is greyed out on my system and won't allow me to click it. Just fyi, my utorrent is version 1.8.3 .How can I get it to allow me to ungrey that option?asy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
