moogly Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 Preferences > Directories, be sure the .torrent storage folder is reachable or exists. Then force a recheck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorrentUser2000 Posted May 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 How do you force a re-check? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorrentUser2000 Posted May 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 Ok. I got it to start DL. I had "Put new DLs in" and "Move completed DLs to" going to the same file. I un checked "Move completed DLs to" and it started. But now it dls for a few seconds and then stops with an error says "access denied" I am the admin on this computer. Any ideas? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogly Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 Try to run utorrent.exe as admin one time.Or remove the download directory and create a new one (and move the files into it before starting µT). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorrentUser2000 Posted May 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 My directories must be screwed up. How should they be set? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TorrentUser2000 Posted May 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 I use W7. Problems started when I had to change the drive where the downloaded torrents where stored. It worked for about 5 downloads and then I started getting the first error "unable to save". Got that to go away but now I am getting "access denied" and I am the admin for this computer. Things are so screwed up. Wonder if I can uninstall UT and start over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogly Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 It's not an issue with µT but with user rights under Windows. Being admin doens't imply you have the full control on the folders and files, if they have been created with another user account (user ID has changed).

TorrentUser2000 Posted May 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 I am the only one that uses ut and installed it with my user account. Are there other places to look for user settings? Should I do an uninstall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogly Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 You can try to reinstall µT as admin, yes. As long as you don't erase the folder %appdata%\utorrent, you can restore your history easily (make a back-up of this folder before reinstalling uT).
