shipaii Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Hello, and thanks for taking your time to read thisI have been using uTorrent on this machine for a few months without any problems, but today I found a problem that I haven't been able to resolve with any of the solutions provided on this forum.When double clicking a torrent file, utorrent will automatically open itself, and open a download dialogue, where it asks for download location, and file name etc. This however has stopped working on my computer from today. When double clicking torrents from download list in firefox, the dialogue doesn't show, and same when double clicking from a folder. The dialogue box also doesn't open if I manually add a torrent through utorrent(ctrl+O). The program will still open itself when clicking a torrent, and everything aside from the download dialogue seems to be working perfectly.However, if I click add torrent and chose save dir(ctrl+D) the download will begin, without any problems. Since it is very inconvenient to go through the add torrent an locate the torrent file, I am wondering if anyone knows how to make the download dialogue appear again when I click torrents. What I tried to solve it:Update utorrent(had latest version (3.2(build 27568) 32bit))add through web(didn't work)restart computer(didn't work)download from different trackers(didn't work)Thanks for reading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac-the-Knife Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Which latest version, the stable or the beta, if it's the stable then try the beta. By the download dialogue box, do you mean the box that opens so as you can view the files before they are loaded into uTorrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipaii Posted September 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 The latest stable version.And by dialogue box I mean the box that opens in utorrent, where you chose file destination and file name. It opens before the torrents are loaded into utorrent and starts downloading. Without this opening, I can't chose the file destination, and my download can't start.

shipaii Posted September 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 I tried disabling, restarting program, then enabling and restarted the program. The problem still persists. The menu doesn't show.With the option off, it will just instantly download the torrent without letting me chose download folder.Thanks for the reply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 And with the option on, what happens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipaii Posted September 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 I already had it turned on, and disabling, and turning it on again sadly doesn't change anything.utorrent will open/blink on the taskbar when I double click a torrent file, but the menu won't open and the download doesn't start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akshayar640 Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 Hi all,I seem to be having the same problem. After opening the torrent file, the application does not show me the file details nor does it ask me where to save the file. It just directly downloads to the Downloads folder in the C drive. Actually Ive been using utorrent for a couple of years but this has been happening since recently after I meddled with settings and I don't know what I did. I want utorrent to ask me where I would want to save the file before downloading because I have different download locations for movies, games etc. Searching for a solution in the forum landed me here. FYI, utorrent version: 3.2 build 27708 (32 bit) System config: i5, 4 GB, Win 7 64bit.P.S: Hope this thread is still active and I get a solution for this.Thank you in advance!

Poorlyte Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 I was having this problem too. Apparently the problem is related with the option of post #6, but checking/unchecking that option doesn't have any effect to me.The only way I found to solve this was:1) Close uTorrent2) Backup all my \Data\Settings folder3) Delete \Settings folder4) Open uTorrent again5) Close uTorrent one more time6) Restore all files but "settings.dat"7) Reconfigure all uTorrent preferencesI'm using uTorrent 3.2.2 (build 28500).

akshayar640 Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 Porlyte,Thank you very much. It worked. But there is a small problem. I was actually downloading a game and it was about 60% done. But after that deleting and restoring thing, I do not know where it went. I loaded the torrent again but then it started from 0%. Can you help me?And thanks a lot for solving my earlier problem. I was breaking my head over it because all my downloads were being downloaded into the C drive where there is hardly any space. Re-arranging the downloaded files was a big head ache. You made my life a lot easier, thanks!Please tell me how to load the half downloaded torrent. i have no idea where the file vanished. It was supposed to be in the Downloads folder in my C drive.Thank you. Appreciate your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciaobaby Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 I loaded the torrent again but then it started from 0%. Can you help me?Probably not anymore, but if you reload torrents as stopped and force a recheck before starting them it should restore it to it's last known state.

akshayar640 Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 Okay. Never mind. I can download it again, no big deal. Thanks for your help guys! Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poorlyte Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 Good to hear that worked for u too!Maybe the solution to prevent start the download again is stop it BEFORE the backup. I wasn't downloading anything when I resolved the problem so... this didn't happen to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
