pityrules Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 Windows VIsta / utorrent 3.3.2On occasion, this version of utorrent seems to get mad when I try to move files - as in the status bar says "moving" for hours, even when I am moving files within the same drive.I tried to move a movie file and eventually I just removed the torrent from utorrent because it was hanging on "moving" for so long.My file disappeared! This is strange because I have configured utorrent to move my files to the recycle bin when I remove them and also to prompt me before doing so.This time when I pressed remove, the torrent was deleted immediately, as was my movie file that I downloaded.I use the program "Search Everything" to look for misplaced files, as well as manually looked at the download folder, the recycle bin, and the folder that it was supposed to be moved to, and nada.What gives? Do I have computer goblins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafi Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 Do I have computer goblins?More likely they have a file IO bug in uTorrent 3.3.X ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pityrules Posted October 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 K thanks , I am wondering - Is this fixable or should I change back to 2-2-1?And where on earth did the file go? I have never actually lost a file before, I can always find it with Search Everything or a recovery program Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafi Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 Is this fixable?Yes, by the devs... For us, it is possible to use "Run when changing state..." instead. The reason is probably the file being locked for seeding, so you should also wait for the "Finished - 11" event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciaobaby Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 utorrent 3.3.2What build? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pityrules Posted October 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 Build 30180The file has just disappeared as though it were never there - even data recovery tools won't find it.One time (with this build) utorrent indicated a file was 100 percent complete when it hadn't downloaded at all, so maybe this happened here, because I just can't fathom how utorrent could delete a file completely and erase all traces of it.Not a huge deal, it wasn't very big, I am just worried about computer goblins now Should I attempt to report this as a bug or just shrug and move on?Thanks for your help everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafi Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 even data recovery tools won't find it.Most likely the tools are not that good... Or maybe you are looking for the wrong file name(s) ... It is a bug. Sadly, no one will admit it is so, nor try to analyze it due to the complexity, and not being easily reproducible... So, just move on and try live with it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
