andwan0 Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 I just rebooted my laptop and now I getError: Former volume not mountedMy torrents data were path to M:\ which is a network mapping to the USB HDD off my NAS.The other L:\ and K:\ network mapped drives from internal NAS HDDs are fine. Just the USB HDD off NAS isn't seem by uTorrent anymore. However in Windows 8.1 I can perfectly see M:\ fine. I tried restarting uTorrent, etc. but no joy.

DreadWingKnight Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 The quirks in the windows network file subsystem can cause this problem. Force a re-check on the offending torrents. If that does not work, you may need to switch to torrenting locally on one device or the other (be it on the laptop or the nas directly) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that does not work, you may need to switch to torrenting locally on one device or the other (be it on the laptop or the nas directly)I tried force re-check etc... but the main problem is that when I "add" a new torrent.. the file/folder dialog can't display my M:\ NAS's USB HDD. Before reboot laptop, it was working perfectly fine.Now, in normal Windows 8.1 file explorer and I can see M:\ and access the files fine. Just in uTorrent I can't explore M:\ anymore, even after countless uTorrent restarts. Just wondering whether uTorrent does a cache read on all devices during first launch, etc?

DreadWingKnight Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 It doesn't. Something's likely blocking uTorrent from accessing the drive in your case. Regardless, torrenting to a nas in the way you are isn't recommended anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it isn't recommended, it's how I been seeding 8TB of data. My laptop no way has enough space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 If your nas is capable of it, torrent directly on it. Otherwise the recommended method is to use locally connected drives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
