GeekyQc Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 This misadventure started when I deleted a couple files by inadvertence. I recovered one through an undelete program but the other was lost unless I shelled hundreds of dollars for data recovery. I placed the recovered file in the right sub-directory, the other files were already in the other sub (directory), and I started the download.I got the error "Element not found" then followed the instructions of Element not found; accidentally deleted file and deleted resume.dat & resume.dat.old (in post #4).The problem I'm now facing is that all the files I have seem like they will be re-downloaded. I'm positive that the first files (in the filename order, which also had priority order) were fully downloaded but the last ones seem to miss some parts but are mostly downloaded (I could very well watch the videos missing some small parts).I'd like that pieces be checked before being downloaded. I did what stated in the linked thread re-checking the torrent (post #7) but the whole files (in the torrent) seem not to be downloaded (are fully pale blue instead of the expected mostly strong blue (with some pale)). For now I'm skipping those files but I'd really like them to be verified that their parts match the checksum.Please show me how uTorrent may recognize the successfully downloaded file parts so it will only download the missing/corrupted parts. Thank you for your help.Update1: Marked as solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeekyQc Posted May 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 Follow the migration guide from the documentation section of our site.I went on the documentation page and what seemed mostly appropriate was µTorrent Help File (.chm)Download the µTorrent help file here. so I simply used the torrent help file (by pressing F1) and ended up in µTorrent User Manual > Chapter 03: Advanced Guides Migrating to Another Location and the most appropriate section was Moving Torrent Contents and it turn out that I need to re-check the files which I already did as stated in the OP. Unless I misunderstood something, this doesn't allow me to further integrate the successfully downloaded parts of the files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeekyQc Posted May 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 http://user.utorrent.com/help/guides/migrateUnless I misunderstood something, this was already done as mentioned in the OP: after deleting resume.dat & resume.dat.old, the torrent list was empty so I went into C:\Users\MY_USER_NAME\AppData\Roaming\uTorrent (under Windows Vista) and double-clicked the appropriate torrent file then the file list loaded but all of them has their Pieces progress bar empty (in pale blue).What I'd like is the files (content) be verified so that their successfully downloaded pieces be marked as so in the progress bar (in strong blue).

DreadWingKnight Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 Were you downloading to the same folder as your default?Did you have the .ut! extension enabled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeekyQc Posted May 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 Were you downloading to the same folder as your default?If you mean the same folder as before the accidental file (content) deletion, then: Yes.Did you have the .ut! extension enabled?I don't remember back then but ATM, there's only .torrent under the file name (prefix) in uTorrent data folder.

DreadWingKnight Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 It's the individual files themselves not the folderBesides, it's supposed to be "dir /b /s" not "cd" that you use to find files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The GUI search tool images show that there's no such files.The uTorrent data folder:C:\Users\MY_USER_NAME\AppData\Roaming\uTorrent>dir /b /s *.!utFile Not FoundThe content folder:>dir /b /s *.!utFile Not Found Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeekyQc Posted May 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 I realised my f%?$ing problem! And I'm sorry to this community. I had very low space in one of my drives a few days ago so moved them to another one temporarely while I burned some DVD and forgot to move them back. I'm so f*?$ing stupid! :mad: I really need to use Mozilla Lighting more to add extra amount of already plenty tasks. *sigh*I was right on something: the files were 92-95% completed so it would have been a useless redownload.Update1: I was positive things were as usual: that I didn't move the file like 99% of the time. Sorry again.Update2: I'm really glad uTorrent keep my torrents in its data folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
