Torrents download again after moving file

It might take a bit of fiddling, but if you've done it right it should warn you that the destination already exists. Then you can force a recheck. Either way, once you've figured out, you can select multiple torrents and perform the action on all of them. That I can't tell you. If you hit delete and had the shift key held down at the time, that means it does not go to the recycle bin but just gets deleted still recoverable with an undelete type program for a while though.

Possibly they are still sitting in a directory on your drive somewhere do a search. Or perhaps you just deleted the whole utorrent directory and that is the only thing you would see in the recycle bin. Just be aware if you restore the utorrent directory from the recycle bin you may overwrite your current install unless you rename your current install first. Start new topic. They are basically the same, with the latter having one extra step.

How to move the file within uTorrent: 1. Right click on the file you want to move. Depending on the file size it may take a few seconds up to a few minutes if you are moving it to a new drive. If you already moved it and just need uTorrent to locate it, follow steps 1 - 3 from above, then: 4.

Choose the location to where you have moved the file. Just setting the download location will not get rid of this and start the seeding process. And now you're done. I really wish there was a better way to handle post processing within uT. All this being said, I am trying to find a solution that would seed all torrents indefinitely this would be great if you were on a Private Tracker.

In this case the AMC script will do exactly what you need it too. This script allows you to have your data scattered around several drives but still keep them all in the same folder somewhere. Save it in your torrent download root as "symlinks. Place yourelf into it in command line, then by doing the following command, you mirror everything in the folder to another location - great as the first step:.

Then in uTorrent, in the preferences you can run a program each time a torrent is downloaded this option is also available in the advanced properties of each torrent :.

This way, you get a new link everytime a download completes! But be aware: If you change the original data's location, the links will cease to work! Oh, and some programs including VLC can sometime fail to open media this way - dvd rips. But it will work for pretty much everything else.

If your not uploading the torrent your doing so much work for nothing. All you had to do was have a second HDD like I did install the program onto that drive and create folders for each torrents ie And even if you have one Large HDD this can still be done using my same method keeping files separate and saving you time and effort moving and trying to rename when that will accomplish next to nothing that I can read from this thread.

Wouldn't this create a duplicate drive - basically 1 HDD that allows the seeding - and another HDD that servers as your media server? So my own problem is solved, but then I want to help out on the first tracker and use the file to seed there also. I would have assumed that there was some difference in the file, apart from the fact that it completed perfectly when I first copied the almost-completed file the other way.

When a storage device becomes disconnected, all files lead with a red exclamation mark to indicated the error. Reconnecting the drive and rebooting BitTorrent does not seem to reconnect the files.

The only way to bind the file to the torrent file is by Force Re-check. My issue involves thousands of completed downloads that seem to get their filename modified with an appended "upart".

In testing some files I've duplicated them and removed the "upart" from the end of the filename. The Mac asks if I'm sure I want to make the change, and I click "yes".

Several of the media files seem to be fine, but I have noticed some have corrupted endings as it stops playing prematurely. These files were fully completed downloads that BitTorrent modified in order to re-check the hash consistency before seeding.

I saw your reply in a separate post claiming there was NO WAY to cancel a Re-check, and this seems like a serious flaw. If a re-check must compare hashes with other seeds that are no longer available, then you file is held hostage indefinitely. To further my rant, BitTorrent should not state that the file is downloading when it is not. This is the kind of thing that makes users want to jump ship for an open-source version. BitTorrent has had plenty of time to improve these flaws.

I have not even found other complaints about this, is this the way it has to be? Correction to my previous posting.
