Resuming d/loads after utorrent restart

[nathcrow]

Hi all,

I just started using utorrent yesterday, I am tired of the slow, inconsistent d/l speeds of Azureus and decided to give utorrent a try instead, I must say that from what i've seen so far I am very impressed with not only the speed but the friendliness and ease of use of utorrent when compared to AZ, I am certain that utorrent will be my client of choice from now on.

I have one question, with Azureus if for any reason I restarted the client then it would automatically "load" all of my part d/loaded files from my "downloads" folder when I restarted it. I have restarted utorrent a couple of times (after changing skins) and each time the download window has been empty, the only way to get part downloaded files to resume is by resubmitting the original .torrent to utorrent again, it then does a complete check of the file and then resumes. Is this normal practise?

I used to have that problem. Fixed it by having all my utorrent files (.dat files etc) in the same folder that the exe runs from.

If you are using the options in "Folders" and/or Auto-load, they MUST be unique folders.

If you are using the options in "Folders" and/or Auto-load, they MUST be unique folders.

Just to be clear, the only way to make Auto-load work after closing and relaunching the program would be to use a minimum of three folders, such as:

\torrents............................... for storing downloaded media files (complete and incomplete)

\torrents\torrents started....... for storing new/current .torrent files

\torrents\torrents finished...... for storing finished .torrent files

?

Or can you use a minimum of two, such as:

\torrents......................... for storing downloaded media files (complete and incomplete)

\torrents\torrent files....... for storing all .torrent files

?

Thanks.

Auto-load must have its own folder used for nothing else, .torrent storage must have its own folder used for nothing else (as far as .torrent options go, downloads are another story)
