thingemon Posted April 9, 2010 Report Posted April 9, 2010 Today while in the middle of a download I accidentally hit the power cord on my external hard drive, which I save all my torrent downloads to, it shut off and I received the classic X's on the utorrent. I immediately plugged it back in hoping for the torrents to reconnect the file paths automatically. But unfortunately this was not the case, they would not continue to download. I realized as well that my previously finished torrent downloads that were seeding were also broken too. So I stopped all my torrents and tried a force re-check. It seems to re-check all the torrents that are saved on my hard drive, most of them anyway, but not re-check the ones on my external. How would I go about fixing this? It's crucial because..if this cannot be fixed my previously seeding torrents will be lost..which would be quite the disaster. Thanks a lot.
Switeck Posted April 9, 2010 Report Posted April 9, 2010 Did you backup uTorrent's settings files previously?Can you use Ultima's Bencode editor to edit the resume.dat file?
thingemon Posted April 9, 2010 Author Report Posted April 9, 2010 No drive letters did not change, I'm on a Mac so the name of the drive is the same, and I just rebooted so it seems to be working a bit more than before, except they are now only going up to 99%, but I have no altered or changed the folder in which they were downloaded to. Also how would I have backed up my uTorrent's settings file? And what is Ultima's Bencode editor?
Switeck Posted April 9, 2010 Report Posted April 9, 2010 I'm sorry, your situation is a lost cause if you didn't previously back the settings up. Bencode editor is a Windows program...This is the Windows uTorrent troubleshooting forum as well...the Mac uTorrent forums are further down the Index list....Did you try to stop the torrents and Force Recheck the torrents' hash?
