ellicec Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 What does this mean? It's my first time to encounter this kind of error. Can't seem to find anyone who had this error too. What should I do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 One of your torrents or download paths probably uses a drive letter that no longer exists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThinCook Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 I'm new to this problem just like any of you. After updated torrent, i got this same error Couldn't find help anywhere in torrent help section :mad: I stumble here and here is what I found. Your current destination has been changed to a different location after your update. Here is what you should be doing. Go to piratebay.com. Find the movie/file you want to download. After click "download this torrent" another smaller pop-up window will appear. Click "open with". Do not do anything after you see another pop-up window. Look carefully at the top, you'll see the destination that displaying your current source/destination. To change, click on the square block to the right of it and choose the correct destination. I hope this would help :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BackoFburk Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 I had the same prob. I download to external drive and when i disconnect this drive from computer and then reconnect, the drive letter alloted by computer sometime changes, eg G to H drive. Check Options-> Preferences-> Directories on Utorrent screen and match drive letter to computer allocated drive.cheers:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firon Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Check what drive letter uT is expecting, then change the drive's letter to match in Disk Management. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xnert Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 FIXED: edited to past tense and advice.I started having this problem after switching the "Location of Downloaded Files" -> "Put new documents in" path to an external USB thumbdrive. Thereafter I got the error every time I tried to download, even after switching it back to a known existing directory on the C drive. What seems to work FOR THE MOMENT, is changing the aforementioned destination setting, Removing the torrent, exiting uTorrent altogether, then launching from scratch by clicking the .torrent file.As already noted by others, this started after I downloaded 2.2 -- which happened accidentally when I did NOT tell it to and did not WANT it to.

DreadWingKnight Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 The setting in the preferences isn't retroactive to torrents you already have running in uTorrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xnert Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 Thanks for the answer. Your reply was so fast that it overlapped my finding the fix and editing my post. :-)That being said, however, the behavior strikes me as counterintuitive.

moogly Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 It's written "Put new downloads in". I guess "new" is enough to understand it's not retroactive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShinGamix Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 Thanks I had no idea what I had done until I read this. Thanks because I just upgraded my external hard drives and it rearranged some of the drive letters when I did. I had selected a previous location that no longer existed. You were spot on admin.

I had a prevailing problem which said " former volume not mounted" - because of which i was unable to download anything .... now as what you said, i changed the location of download and "its done" :) Thank you very much ThinCook - Regards - Rakesh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bahahaha Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 I got this message as well and it is because you need to re-specify the pathway to save your files, esp. if you were downloading to an external hard drive and the driver letter was re-assigned. Easiest fix: right click on torrent that gives you error>Advanced>Set download location...From there you can re-specify where to send the download if the external was given a new letter. Re-start the download. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prbwi Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Rebooting my XP netbook after an MS update caused my external drive to not be recognized. The only thing that fixed this was pulling the power plug and replugging. WD Essentials HD can't be turned off without powering down the computer, so next time I'll try unmounting the drive before restarting Windows. If I can't do that, then I'll shut down, pull the drive, and then restart and remount the drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lil8bazz Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 to fix this problem all you have to do is delete torrent and try downloading it again in a different folder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaFox Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 An alternative that I used when I moved my downloads was:Back up your "%AppData%\uTorrent\resume.dat" file.Open "%AppData%\uTorrent\resume.dat" in Notepad++Replace all instances of your Drive Letter:\Download Path I.E: "C:\Downloads\" with your new drive letter I.E.: "D:\Downloads\".NOTE: With the way that resume.dat is formatted the length of the path MUST remain the same. This means that you can not change C:\Downloads to D:\DLs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 That's why we don't recommend text editors for editing the settings and resume files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balamutick Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 I have a computer with Gnu / Linux debian, and set utorrent server for Linux by setting utserver.conf I configured all the necessary folders, and it suits me. But then, a folder with unfinished downloads, has become too large, it was necessary to move it to another disk. From the web interface, I changed the folder to another, stop the service, copy the entire contents of the old folders with unfinished downloads and launches the service again. ALL my downloads showed an error in the log was written Error: Former Volume Not Mounted, all the folders in which movement of the files have the owner of the user running the utserver and Law 777 (full permissions for all). Returned to the web interface, the old folder, stopped the service, tied the old way through the command mount --bind /new_path/ /old_path/ .Launched a service, still writes an error Error: Former Volume Not Mounted ... Help the next, remove yourself from the list of torrent in the program and reinstall it and add pereheshirovat. The question that I did not do so (I originally set up the program guide), because I do everything logically, how to change the folder to the new. Question2, I hope the developers will give more detailed and clear a log of what happened and exactly which file (which way). Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bartimenus Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 hello everyone, at last I managed to solve this error using the command 'force Re-check' (right click on file). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prashanth_92 Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 Situation:My physical drive is one but i had 4 partitions. For ease of use, i merged my E drive with D.Then i changed the download location for all the torrents(mostly completed ones) which was previously in the E drive.Some torrents had no problems, but then others had "Error: Invalid Download state, Try resuming".When i resumed it, the status changed to "Error:Former volume not mounted".Solution: :cool:Previously, i tried stop, force recheck, set download location, changing the completed files to a different new drive, but all this was done without proper order.If you have this problem, do it in this order: 1)stop the torrent(if stop button is greyed leave it as it is), 2)set the present location by: right click >advanced >set download location, 3)force recheck. If it is already completed torrent, the torrent will be moved to 'downloading' tab and stopped. Now go there and start it. It should recheck it successfully. If it does not solve still, i will advise you to :4)exit the application(go to task manager and in the process tab click the 'utorrent.exe' and select end process) and repeat steps 1-4 until you get it solved.Because, for reasons who knows, i didn't get this solution on the first try. I just kept on repeating these steps for couple of times.Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zededd2000 Posted April 7, 2013 Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 I'm getting this problem with a load of files i've already downloaded... I would have thought I could just right-click and set download location... but apparently, when it asks if I want to replace the files already there (re-download) and i say 'no' because i've already got them and just want to seed them... it doesn't change the save directory...Do I have to do this to every file in the entire torrent?i'm trying what prashanth_92 said but it's not working...
