mcfly666 Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Hi, Im using utorrent 1.8.4 and im getting quite a bad problem. Forgive me if i cant explain it well but I'll try.I have a seperate folder just for downloads which is placed on a partition, this folder is simply called "downloads" I have quite a few files there. Now for instance I go to download a TV documentary, I load up the torrent and tell it where to save the file (downloads) This is where it gets really screwed up, the torrent loads and begins to download fine....until I realise its downloading a program which is already on my H/D and already downloaded --> again, BUT the torrent still has the name of the original download --> WTF?Its getting bonkers because some things D/L ok but say one episode out of a series will be something that is already on my H/D, this episode is 100% complete but utorrent still goes thru the motions and says its 20% complete, if you get my drift.thanks guys, any explanation is welcome!

DreadWingKnight Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Are you trying to preview it before it has completed downloading or are you getting this AFTER it has completed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcfly666 Posted August 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Its happens to both preview's and completed downloading, utorrent is just randomly choosing what .AVI's go with what folder ect ect.The only thing i can think of is that i recently did a full install of my O/S. But i backed up my utorrent files from application data and imported them into utorrent on the fresh install (so i could still keep seeding) at first i thought "oh well I will sort out the downloaded torrents at a later stage" but I made this post because of the problem with new torrents I'm downloading.Cheers for any advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 The only other time this has come up, the individual torrents weren't complete.Upon completion of the torrents, playback happened properly.It was caused by the no-zero function being active in an attempt to save time during file allocation.

mcfly666 Posted August 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Ok thank you, seems like i have two things going on atm, I'll wait an see if the problem with the preview exists when completed. I'll be able to sort out the old torrents in due time.thank you for your reply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
