Started utorrent in wrong directory now errors

Hello,

I accidentially started utorrent 2.0.4 from the wrong disk, because I changed the drive letter. Now I changed the drive letter back but now everything is messed up.

Now all torrents are in the 'Downloading' category with status: "Error: Invalid download state, try resuming." Before this accident all downloads were completed and most of the files were already deleted.

So how can I get the old state back? All DLs in Completed and so on... Forcing Re-check does not work (this sets them on 'stopped'); and starting them wouldn't be that intelligent with all the files I already deleted, when utorrent would load them again.

Another question; how can I force utorrent to safe the config files in the utorrent dir not the user dir.

Thank you.

When you changed hard drive letters around did that include the drive letter for the drive where the downloaded torrents are residing?

I've not let utorrent use it's default download location for years so I can't even remember where it is, but when you specify a location it looks for the torrents using a specific file path. Changing the drive letter where utorrent is residing might not matter in itself but utorrent may always look for the downloaded torrents using their real file path rather than just a relative file path or location.

Whatever's gone wrong, if you right click on each torrent there's an option to set the download location (under "advanced") You'll probably have to use it for each torrent and then force a recheck on the whole lot when you're done but that should fix it.

If memory serves me correctly, utorrent looks for it's configuration files in it's own directory first, then the user directory if it doesn't find them there. So if I remember correctly, you only need to move them to the utorrent directory then run utorrent and it will keep saving them there.

I have the downloads in a subfolder where utorrent.exe is.

Well the problem was with the completed files which where on 'stopped' and which I deleted (I don't delete the torrent files or the file in the completed list). Those torrents cannot be put manually into the 'completed' category.

Well I now completely reset my utorrent; all torrents gone...

There is no problem to manually or automatically add/load all torrents again, and 'recheck' as long as each task is pointing to the actual location the files are (or at the default location)

I suggest you read the documentation is needed.
