wiggy Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 Ever since I uploaded to the current Beta (3.2 Build 27215 32 bit) I have been unable to download any torrents.The torrent starts fine and then either crashes partway through the download or gets to 100% and then, after it shows flushing to disk, crashes. In every case the message Error: Element Not Found comes up.Prior to the update it all worked fine.Please help as it's driving me to distraction.

Firon Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 Are you skipping files? If you are, turn off diskio.use_partfile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiggy Posted May 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 Nope - not skipping files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvalordv Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 I am also getting this exact problem, and am also not skipping files. It has started only since upgrading to the latest build. In other instances, the flush to disk message never appears, and it simply gives me an element not found error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 How long are the filenames? Windows has a limitation on how long the total path can be.Did you modify any diskio settings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortuna Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Same problem here!everything working perfectly until I up graded a few hours agoI have changed nothingthe file names are exactly the same length as before any help will be very welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiggy Posted May 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Upgraded to Alpha 3.3 and problem seems to have diminished but not totally gone away. Just a quick thought - could this be something to do with this PiratePay anti p2p software I've been reading about (giving false data) rather than a bug in Utorrent?

Firon Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Nah, it's all local to your system...Did you actually try doing a recheck on your torrents afterwards? Also, I wouldn't recommend 3.3, as it's not terribly reliable right now (and magnet links don't work at all). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiggy Posted May 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 3.3 seems a lot more reliable than the last (3.2 Build 27215 32 bit) beta and the magnet links are working fine from this end.Yep I tried rechecking the torrents several times - oddly enough 50% are showing the same problem with 3.3 as well which made me wonder if it's an external issue.

jvalordv Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 My file names also have not changed. Even when I force start or force recheck, after downloading normally for a few seconds, I am given the element not found error again. I can continually restart the download until it gets to 99.9%, at which point I will receive either a flush notification followed by element not found, or directly an element not found error. This makes these torrents/magnets effectively impossible to complete without a corrupted file.Edit: I should also note that prior to 3.X releases, I never even once received this error. With 3.1, it would happen on occasion, typically one out of perhaps every 20 downloads, and was fixed easily by rechecking/force starting. With 3.2, this has happened to approximately half of all downloads. And, once it happens to a torrent, it is pretty much assured that I will be unable to complete the download regardless of how many times I restart it.

blackwidow_rsa Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Can confirm the same problem, running 3.2 b27226 x86. Moved it to a different drive and changed the name from the default one but still got the same error. Keep getting ReadFile error and IO Error. Both drives have ample space.*** Just to add, it kept giving me the message every few megabytes, had to 'Start' every time. Got fed up and installed 3.1.3 and it worked fine till DL was done and still no errors on the next torrent. *** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turgsh01 Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 I've been using version 2.2.1 ever since it first came out, and only now am I getting my very first issue, therefore it has to be something random like a break in the code or something right? I successfully downloaded something earlier today as usual, then I went to download something else a few hours later, this happened. I tried a few other torrents, same thing. It starts downloading, and before it reaches 2%, it stops and gives that "Element not found" and fills the log with errors. Force download doesn't help at all. I am however still able to continue seeding something I downloaded almost a week ago. I'll try some methods to fix this:- restarting the computer,- re-install utorrent 2.2.1 (I'm stubborn that way )- do a registry cleanup (probably won't help, but maybe worth doing)- snoop around in the utorrent settings and folders and see what I can find- report back here (with hopefully a reply on the fix) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
