melle Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 I keep getting "Error: The system cannot find the path specified. (WriteToDisk)" every time I try to torrent something. It started yesterday, I'd been torrenting TV shows all day and then it just started happening and it's still doing it. Can someone help me? I'm not very good with computers so I need it dumbed down for mePlease and thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melle Posted March 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Um I'm not sure what all that means. I wasn't kidding when I said I needed things dumbed down ...I have BitTorrent 7.8 and I have windows 7And it starts to download for a few seconds before it the status turns into that (i think that's what you wanted to know?)

ciaobaby Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 version 3.1.3 is no longer supported on these forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MU4EVER Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 Updated to 3.3, but the same thing happens. Torrent status: "Error: The system cannot find the path specified. (WriteToDisk)" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vandin Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 I tried changing names and avoiding "." in the beginning and the end of the file name. But it never worked. I have Windows 8 and it is 64 bit OS!!. But I upgraded it to the beta build 3.3.1. It works perfectly fine. This is a workaround for you to try.

harry_r_s Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Does your network belong to some secured network. something like cyberoam.. ???(This is used in college networks and other public areas so as to restrict the data usage and ban some sites to open.. !!)

sai343 Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 hi frnds, i did wt ever my frnds discussed in this page and in other site's also. but for me nothing happened. again i got that same error.i suggest everyone to follow other post's also, because this post may help full or may not. i just tried in this way and it is working for me. don't expect same thing will happen for u also. This is a small request from me ......so, i did one thing and i solved my problem.here is that,*) first delete data + .torrent file *) download .torrent file again (the which ur facing problem) *)pause the download and right click on that torrent file and go to advance option and click on "reset bans" and click on "clear peer list" and "set destination location" it's ur wish(note: after following all steps even if u face problem then only try to change destination to some other drive and follow all the steps again).*)try to click on "set destination name" and try to rename it. i'm sure it will allow u to download the file which is making that error .*)after following all step's then try to start download now(if possible right click on torrent file and click on update trackers).i did this by my own and it is working without any trouble i hope this is work for others also thank you everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cree Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 Just a quick suggestion of things I did to resolve my issue:-Uninstall \ reinstall-check permissions to all folders (application folder \ download folder \ ext, )-check firewall settings (i was prompted to accept firewall settings upon first launch of reinstall)-updated java Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreasvb Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 Nothing, except fixing permissions will help in that list, FYI.Rest has nothing to do with the contents.And, I would uninstall Java and send it to kingdom come, unless you want trojans and whatnot.
