DreadWingKnight Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 Is it a local or network location? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreadWingKnight Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 Because of how the network drives behave, even when mapped as a drive letter, using a network path for autoload does NOT actually work.It MUST be a true local path.

keltickaos Posted August 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 thanks, I was just testing on this machine.. but will set it up the way i want it and it should work.One last question if i can, how often does it look at the folder?

DreadWingKnight Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 Fairly often, it would take less than 2 minutes for an autoload to take effect with a local folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keltickaos Posted August 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 Thanks so much for your help!I was going nuts trying to work out why it wouldn't work..edit: Spoke to soon, still has not added torrent after 20min.. This is still on latest version but different PC.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UserInterface Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 This is still not working.. I um unsure why but it does not look like it monitors folders...Is there a log somewhere that will tell me if it checked the folder?I have it on a clean install and pointing to a local drive, and I put a few torrents in there last night but no progress...any ideas again?EDIT:Does anyone know if this works on utorrent 2.0.2 (19648) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UserInterface Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 Is C: your local drive?Can you test with an autoload folder on another drive?Same thing happens... nothing..Can anyone confirm that it does work with this version?I want to just make sure that finding an old version somewhere wont fix my problem...

moogly Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 I tried with the latest 2.0.3 and autoloading is working.5 sec after adding a .torrent into the autoload folder, the torrent has been loaded into µT and µT added .loaded to the .torrent file in autoload folder.Do you see .loaded files?Are you sure the autoload folder is reacheable? (and folder permissions too) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UserInterface Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 Checked security and it is fine, I tried to put it in different folders on different machines\drives and still no go.I don't see .loaded files, but I am unsure where to look.. Do these show in the same folder?Could someone give me a screen shot of there settings.. might be pushing it with that one.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogly Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 In your case, .loaded files should be stored in 'C:\TorrentStore' (as long as you don't check the box 'Delete loaded .torrents') because that's the folder where you add the .torrent files to load into µT.After adding a .torrent into 'C:\TorrentStore', µT creates a working copy in the folder %appdata%\utorrent (by default and in your case).

UserInterface Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 Right, I don't have it set to delete and it does not change to .loadedI was planning later to delete them but thought it was best for troubleshooting to leave it for now.I have just tried uninstalling and reinstalling, and even built up a vista VM just to rule out windows 7.For the VM I just did a clean install and added a local directory and still nothing..

UserInterface Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 I got it!Seems that it was the autoload feature from firefox.. although I still don't know why the VM does not work..does not matter for me the htpc works fine now that feature is disabled, just need to tell it where to save every time..Thanks everyone for your time and effort!I would still be stuck on the network drive issue without you!Now back to the FAQ's for me as i have to move all my seeding torrents to my HTPC, which should be fun with them spread across multiple drives.

nOrphf Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 I'm loading torrents fra a mapped network drive, and it is working fine, as long as the network "Host" does not reboot.When I reboot the "host" computer, utorrent must be restarted to "resume" autoloading.
