Chronum Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 I'm an absolute beginner in these forums, so if this is in the wrong forum, feel free to move it to the right one.Having been a uTorrent user for AGES now, I finally decided to make an account and get some help.1. I've downloaded a file, say a movie X, to my C drive. To keep my C drive clear, I then c/p it to D drive. Now that's all fine, but the movie's pretty damn epic and I want to keep seeding it. But I get the "File missing from job" error. I might be a complete nub, but a bit of help on how to re-attach the file to the metadata would be nice. Can anyone tell me how?2. My ISP (cable internet in India), works using a simple principle. There's an 'internet' connection, at 500 Kbps, and a WAN 'peering' network at 20 Mbps. So other users of the ISP get torrents from each other pretty fast (movie in 5 minutes). Now, although I love seeding for people, I can't afford my 'net to get jammed. Is there any setting in uTorrent that allows seeding only in your WAN and not in the 'internet', so to speak? 20 Mbps, I can spare. But that 500 kbps, I need free.Thanks for your time.

Chronum Posted May 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 2. That's too bad. But then again, that probably means devs can work on such a feature.1. How do I tell it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chronum Posted May 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 I've tried that. Multiple times.Still getting the missing from job error. Do I need to restart uTorrent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsillup Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 Still getting the missing from job error.You need to set download location as the parent directory of the directory where your torrent files are actually located, see this post for a diagram: http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?pid=726910#p726910And you need to answer Yes to the overwrite warning before forcing a recheck.

Chronum Posted May 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 It finally works. I've been able to restart seeding a lot of my stuff, thank you to all who answered.And we're still absolutely sure that there's no way the seeding-only-WAN-IP's thing won't work?
