doras100p Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 EDIT: For anyone who have a similar problem, cheack if it's because the dialog is off screen. To check that, simply click Enter after you double-click the torrent file, or click the magnet link. If the download starts, that's the problem. To fix it, press Alt+SpaceBar+M, let go, and move the dialog with your arrows. I knew the virtual screen was on the left side of my screen, but it could be anywhere, simply try. THANKS ciaobaby for the help!Hello,I have windows 8 with the newest stable version of utorrent.Up until a week or so, everything was working perfectly. Downloads were quick and everything was great. Then, whenever I tried adding torrents, thay just wouldn't be added. And the screen where I select where to save them didn't show up eithrt.It started around the time I deleted all the torrents from uTorrent, so I thought it might have something to do with it, but now I moticed I have a torrent in the hidden category, and it's stopped. When I hit Start is downloads perfectly.What could the problem be?This happens with magnet and regular torrents. When I start them uTorrent pop up, but empty.Even when I hit File>Add Torrent and manually select the torrent it doesn't work.P.S. I tried uninstalling completely and re-installing again. Didn't help.Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doras100p Posted February 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 Read the manual (or one of the very many threads) on how magnet links populate the metadata.Not only Magnet Links aren't working, but every torrent. I think I saw other people with the same problem lately but everyone answered them like they are wrong and don't know what the problem really is. I think I will video it and upload so you would see.

doras100p Posted February 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 Sidebar -> Labels -> Hidden (1)Which means the metadata hasn't been populated to the job.What does that mean? How do I fix it? Does it matter that I have it there probably before the problem started?Currently I'm using a different torrent client and everything works there.

ciaobaby Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 What does that mean? How do I fix it? It means that uTorrent does not have any details of the job such as the size, how many pieces, the size of the pieces, the file/directory name, etc.Does it matter that I have it there probably before the problem started?It may or it may not, but if it has been like that for more than a few hours it probably is NOT going to load; Ever!

There's no way to fix it? If I add a torrent through Ctrl+D it works fine and download everything. So no more piratebay? (Magents only)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciaobaby Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 For magnets you need to have Preferences -> UI Settings -> "When Adding Torrents" "[ ] Show options ...." checked and wait for the data to load.But if you update to 3.3 magnet handling is greatly improved there.

And the check box is checked as you can see in the last photo I added.Plus, I am using 3.3Also, I can't add regualr torrents regularly, I have to use Ctrl+D and then change what files I want it to download, and it's a little different in picking where to save.The problem is still as the begining, like I described in the original post.

ciaobaby Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 Do you happen to use two monitors on some occasions?What happens if you press the Enter/Return key after adding the job? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doras100p Posted February 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 Do you happen to use two monitors on some occasions?What happens if you press the Enter/Return key after adding the job?Actually, I always use two monitors. But if I understand where you're going with this I think I Have the same problem with Nero. It opens the window on a screen to the left of my screen, wich doesn't exist. And I checked the PC's settings for that and nothing helped.Wow! You're a genius! When I press enter it adds it! Do you know how I can fix it?I know hot to fix it with programms but now with windows inside programsEDIT:You're a genius! I still can't believe you figured it out from far, without touching the computer!I fixed the problem. Pressed Alt+Space+M, let go, and moved with the arrows. Fixed the problem. Thanks for the help!
