Snuffy Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 There was a torrent on my list that I deleted both the torrent + Data. Upon trying to download the torrent again later,I get the message: "The torrent you are trying to add is already in the list of torrents. Do you want to load the trackers from it?" No, the torrent is not in the list of torrents. It is not showing in the program itself, and I have checked both the folders where data and torrents are saved to ensure the files are not there. I have rebooted, rechecked, and the problem still exists. I have uTorrent 2.2 on W7 64bitIf someone can help I would greatly appreciate it.Snuffy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

okmike Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 Is that supposed to be an answer? I guess I have to read every single line in the FAQ to find the information, as it is not in the list.P.S. It is NoWhere in the FAQ. Seriously, anyone have an answer for this problem? I have it too.

Jeroenz0r Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 I would like to redo this, because a lot of Google results lead to dead topics. :|I'm running µTorrent 3.1 (build 26591).I deleted the torrent with "Remove And > Delete .torrent + Data".There is no trace of it left anywhere (no data in 'F:\P2P\New' and 'F:\P2P\Done' and no .torrent in 'F:\P2P\Torrents').When I download the torrent again and start it, it tells me it's already in list. :/ I'm sorting by name in the root "Torrents (186)". It is not there...All I see in the logger tab is Accepted launch|Type: auto Location: C:\Temp\SmallFile.torrentI hope I can get some new info on this. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjadanger Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 ran into this today as well. not exactly sure what is going on. deleted torrent + data, torrent list shows 4 torrents but only 3 show up in the window. none of the data for the deleted torrent is anywhere to be found in any of my directories. i'm sure it's a simple fix but i can't find it. sorry for the fail.

encapsulate Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 I've also encoutered this problem before.When I was downloading a file (incomplete) I accidentally deleted the .torrent from the explorer.And uTorrent is still downloading & uploading.After that I restarted uTorrent and it didn't showed the torrent anymore.I've checked the sidebar (F7), I've checked "ALL" the categories one by one.But torrent was not showing up, again uTorrent is still downloading & uploading.Then I checked the Logger and this is what I saw.."Error: <NULL> - Can't open .torrent file: C:\samplefile.torrent"(NOTE: Not the actual filename)What I did was, I downloaded the same .torrent file in the exact same folder with the exact same filename in the error log, which is "C:\samplefile.torrent".I restarted uTorrent, after that the torrent showed up but with an error"Error: samplefile - Invalid download state, try resuming"And so I restarted it then the file was back to normal.I just hope this helps.Is that supposed to be an answer?Nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Svul_08 Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Then I checked the Logger and this is what I saw.."Error: <NULL> - Can't open .torrent file: C:\samplefile.torrent"(NOTE: Not the actual filename)What I did was, I downloaded the same .torrent file in the exact same folder with the exact same filename in the error log, which is "C:\samplefile.torrent".I restarted uTorrent, after that the torrent showed up but with an error"Error: samplefile - Invalid download state, try resuming"Yes! Thank you encapsulate for being the only person on this planet who can solve this problem. I have this problem with like 6 of my torrents, and I've been Googling for days now with no answers, other than the ridiculous "Press F7" response like above. Nice work!For anyone with this issue, the above will fix the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shells Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Then I checked the Logger and this is what I saw.."Error: <NULL> - Can't open .torrent file: C:\samplefile.torrent"(NOTE: Not the actual filename)What I did was' date=' I downloaded the same .torrent file in the exact same folder with the exact same filename in the error log, which is "C:\samplefile.torrent".I restarted uTorrent, after that the torrent showed up but with an error"Error: samplefile - Invalid download state, try resuming"[/quote']For anyone with this issue, the above will fix the issue.Unfortunately, this didn't work for me. installation of uTorrent shows 7 phantom torrents. It believes they are loaded, and I cannot reload them, as you were able to do, but they are inactive and not shown in the torrent list and I cannot figure out how to remove them or restart them. The sidebar shows they are present, completed, inactive and without labels.The only way I managed to delete them was to uninstall uTorrent and reinstall it. Hardly a solution. I couldn't find anything relevant in the registry,This happened while I was debugging something under VS2010 while downloading torrents, an unrelated program that, incidentally, made no use of sockets. It only happened when I was running the debugger, and it happened twice, though not a third time, so I can't reliably reproduce it.Resetting the list view columns didn't fix it. It seems to not be a mere display issue.Win 7, 64 bit.uTorrent 3.1, build 26650 (32 bit)Intel i7 930, 12 GB RAMnet.max_halfopen 100TCPIP.sys half-open Half-open_limit_fix__4.2.exe claims my OS hasn't limited it, so, presumedly, it'll be the default.Will a HijackThis log help?

shells Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Continuing from my previous post, just above:I installed the 64 bit version, 3.0, build 25570, and behold!, it showed the phantom torrents and let me delete them from the ListView. Indeed, the 32 bit version had retained them as if they were present and active, even though I had deleted all traces of the torrents and their associated downloads from the disk. The logger showed a bunch of attempted connections for those torrents and a corresponding number of disconnects (I'd overlooked checking that on the 32 bit version's logger, however.)I will keep the 32 bit version for a while if someone wants to get information from (or with) me, to try to fix this bug. I'll work with you if you want to try to reproduce it.Thanks, and thanks for porting uTorrent to 64 bit. I recently had a relatively simple program to port, which nevertheless had in it lots of character and numeric manipulations via pointers and pointers passed by reference and lots of pointer arithmetic. It didn't seem like it was going to be tough even so, yet it took me much longer than I expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthonyfleck Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 I've also been having this problem however I fixed it simply by deleting the uTorrent data folder in AppData.Click the start button and type %appdata% in the search, hit enter.There is a folder in here called uTorrent. By deleting this folder it clears all the cache and settings of uTorrent. You can backup the settings.dat file in the uTorrent folder if you would prefer to keep your settings file. This is a quick fix, hopefully it works for everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for sharing guys!The 32 bit uTorrent was compatible with my 64 bit Win7. A few versions ago, this bug showed up and I was at a loss to fix its misbehavior. (I failed to recall the data stored in %appdata%. Excellent observation.) The 64 bit version of uTorrent seems to be free of this bug and it gave me access to the info stored in resume.dat and let me modify it.Thanks for contributing to this fine program.

urbanriot Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 Also suffering from this issue, with a torrent that doesn't exist yet it's telling me it already exists.Is there a way I can navigate around this uTorrent bug and 'reinitialize' uTorrent without losing my large list of seeded torrents?I'm running uTorrent 3.0 (build 25806) [32-bit] on Windows 2008 SP2 x64. Edit: Disregard, it solved itself after I restarted. Very odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Athari Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 Proper solution! Advantages: you won't lose the whole list of torrents, like when removing resume.dat as suggested above.Download BEncode Editor https://sites.google.com/site/ultimasites/bencode-editor#downloadOpen %APPDATA%\uTorrent\resume.datDelete the offending torrent entrySaveWhen uTorrent starts, it will complain about a failed file integrity check in the logger, ignore it...PROFIT!

smoothwifey613 Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 I had this same problem...I just opened the sidebar using F7, expanding the Torrents section, and then expanded the Labels section. The torrent was under the Hidden label. I clicked on the torrent to bring it into the main screen and then right clicked and removed the torrent + data. I then redownloaded the torrent and it works fine. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a result the download is corrupted and HAS to be restarted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
