huge Posted December 4, 2010 Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 First, I imagine this has been covered and I'm probably being dense about something - sorry if I'm rehashing something that's been described...I moved to a new hard drive, upgraded to Windows 7 64-bit (from Vista) and tried to follow the instructions I found about moving/migrating my uTorrent directories and files. When I open uTorrent, all my old torrents show up with Red X's, and "Error: Can't open .torrent file...", the "Done" column is all 0.0%, zero peers/seeds, but the Uploaded column and the ratio looks right, and if I right click on a torrent and choose "Open Containing Folder" I am taken to the location of the downloaded file(s).I'm guessing that I missed a step in the migration process, so that my resume.dat is OK but my actual .torrent files are not where they're supposed to be (or not linked properly). I downloaded BEncode and ran it, but I couldn't figure out what to find/replace. I have verified that at least some of my .torrent files are where I would expect them to be, but I don't know how to make sure that resume.dat is looking in the right place for them - I don't have a single directory where every .torrent file lives ... most of them are in my browser's default download directory, but sometimes I get them in some non-standard way so they would have been in different places on my old hard drive.I still have access to my old Vista System. Is there a way to open uTorrent and export all my .torrent files and then import them back so that resume.dat will be happy again? I'm particularly interested in maintaining the files/pieces data so that I can go back to music torrents that I have partially downloaded and choose to grab more of the songs that I didn't get on the first download.Thanks for any advice you can share - sorry again if this is covered in a FAQ ... I promise I tried to search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogly Posted December 4, 2010 Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 Because uT fails to find the .torrent storage folder, that's why you received this error.Move back the .torrent files and force a recheck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
