Upgrayedd Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 I migrated to a new harddrive and I have many torrents that are partial downloads that I only wanted certain files from the torrent. I modified the resume.dat to point to the new directory. I have all of the torrents loaded but now of my partial downloads that I used to have preselected certain files to DO NOT DOWNLOAD are now downloading. I stopped all of those torrents and now my HD is completely full because it precached space for the files that I did not want to download. What should I do? I do not want any of the files that I chose not to download to be on my computer now my HD is completely full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciaobaby Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 I would guess that you screwed something up while editing resume.dat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Upgrayedd Posted May 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 All I did was change the locations of the paths. I also used the same settings.dat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Upgrayedd Posted May 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 Is there any way how I can reverse the damage? I still want to seed these partially downloaded torrents but I dont want my HD completely filled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upgrayedd Posted May 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 Remove the jobs ->Delete the duplicates ->Read the migration guide ->Reload the jobs as stopped ->Force a recheck before starting. Unfortunately the jobs are not duplicates, I wish it was that easy. I forced rechecked them and then they cached the entire not downloaded torrent part. I do have the ones that want to finish downloading stopped. It took me forever to pick and choose which files to download from those torrents and I would not want to do that over again.

ciaobaby Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 Read the linked post because you are "pointing" uTorrent to the WRONG location.<edit>Do you have an unedited resume.dat you can use to recover the job setting from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
