Killy Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 Hi,I had previously been downloading a large video file onto my portable hard drive (same way i download all my torrents)id been stopping and starting it like normal.when i connected my hard drive to continue downloading, utorrent said the files were missing (they hadnt been touched or moved)and because im so impatient i clicked reset bans (not knowing what it meant)and it restarted the download so now i have a bunch of half downloaded files which i would like to finish downloading.how can i finish downloading the files i already have or do i need to totally start again?Thanks!!

Killy Posted May 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 I assume you mean the chapter on migrating files?i just read that but i started downloading on utorrent so i doubt i will have to change the name.but it wont let me add torrent to continue downloading them (the files they are sitting in are just empty)am i doing it wrong or is it just not working?

ciaobaby Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 Have you pointed uTorrent to the parent directory and run a recheck before starting the job? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killy Posted May 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 ive made sure the file path is correctand i right clicked and force rechecked them but it still comes up with 0.0% complete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciaobaby Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 ive made sure the file path is correctThat is NOT what I said, because what you think is the correct path ISN'T. You need to point uTorrent to the PARENT directory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreadWingKnight Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 We've been telling you what the problem is.You're going one folder layer too deep into your files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killy Posted May 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 but ive not touched the files at all, how can it change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciaobaby Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 Okay I'll draw you a picture. X: \ --- Root directory \download\ ---- as set in preferences -> directories <<<< THIS is where you point to ... \download\torrentNamedDirectory\ downloaded files are here >>>> .... NOT HEREThe parent folder is the one BEFORE the folder where the files are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsillup Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 when i connected my hard drive to continue downloading, utorrent said the files were missing uTorrent no longer knows where the files are located due to this which is why you are being advised to (re)set download location.

ciaobaby Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 when i connected my hard drive to continue downloading,Would it not be MUCH simpler just to make sure that it is assigned the SAME drive letter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
