Unfinished torrents not saving/ old Deleted torrents showing with red

[the_doc]

Hi Support

I hope you can help me

Two issues (probably related)

1. When I first used U torrent if I wasnt finished downloading a torrent it would contunue where it left off when I next logged on, however now I have to completely restart downlading if I had not completed.

2. Ancient (deleted) torrent form 2 years ago appear in my torrent list with a red x, no recent ones /

Any ideas this is a major hassle

Are you sure µT is able to save the torrent history into resume.dat?

Check the folder %appdata%\utorrent, how many files resume.* do you have?

noob alert you will have to bare with me...

I have a resume.dat , resume.dat.old and resume.dat.new file at ...appdata\roaming\utorrent....thats the only files .dat i have...

Try with a new blank resume.dat (move the current ones into a safe place), then add one torrent to test. Start to download it, close µT then restart µT. Check µT resume the torrent job.

I have now realised that the dat files etc were read only for some unknown reason i have now removed this from the dat files

what are you saying save the dat files to any location then just create a blank resume.dat notepad in there and try and load one?

Bit lost now want to just clean it up completely ...

Anyway if you changed the read/write permissions for the contents of %appdata%\utorrent, that should fix the issue. µT needs to read AND write resume.dat (and settings.dat).
