So, tell me please how to do this. I don't want to download all the files again because the download speed was terrible, I just want to be able to seed them. I'm on uTorrent 3. And also I download the torrent from a Magnet link, in case that matters. Read the migration guide. Yeah well that doesn't help. I've done what it says there, click the magnet link, select the file from the list of files inside the torrent, select the location, hit "Ok" and it just starts downloading the file again.
If I use a. Does the "Name" of the torrent have to match the name of the folder? If all the files are into a folder called "psx-roms", do I have to name the torrent "psx-roms" and save it to the folder one level up the "psx-roms" directory? It didn't work. Well I still had a copy of one of the files so I continued trying to get the thing to work just so I could learn how to do it properly, but as I said before, clicking the.
This time at Does the check require some information from the Internet that it can't get because there are no seeds, or something like that? Well we are talking about something between 30 and 40 GB of files here, so I didn't make a backup of the whole thing. I never expected it was going to be more difficult than double clicking the torrent, choosing the location and pressing Ok.
I've been trying with the single file that I had made a copy of, and even if I don't start the torrent right away, and while it's paused click "Force re-check", it does the same, stops at I'm totally baffled. This is not a very popular torrent that's why I wanted to seed it and there don't seem to be peers at the moment. I just want to understand this behavior, I use uTorrent all the time and I want to know how to fix this problem in case it happens again in the future.
Open the. Actually, after an hour of "checking", I went back only to find that the file is being downloaded again! Or is it downloading some meta-information about the torrent? I'm really confused at this point! If you right click on the torrent and choose Open Containing Folder Which is precisely the place where I had put the files. I stopped the torrent, deleted the file that was being downloaded, replaced it with the original file, and right clicked "Force re-check".
If this works I'll try doing the same with the rest of the files. Speaking of which, I didn't lose the files , turns out that the torrent moved the files to a different directory and I hadn't noticed. So even if it is the file, and it is a working file just tried unzipping it and it works perfectly uTorrent still decides to download it again.
Could it be that the torrent has a different hash? Is uTorrent storing some local information that's causing the file to get downloaded again? Well the thing is I don't really know if it's the same torrent. It seems to be the only version, I've checked different trackers and there's only one that contains that many files, it's over GB.
And from the files I have in my hard disk, the ones that I've checked seem to have the same names and the same sizes. So I'd say they're the same torrent, although it could be a different version, but as I said I haven't found more than one of this type.
Edit: I found the old. Here's a picture of the folder btw, the one I see when I click "Open containing folder" I even tried relocating manually the file I'm downloading, but it still downloads it after checking it. I don't suppose there's a way to find the HASH of a single file inside a torrent, right?
Because I could calculate the hash for both files and see if it's the same. There, we'd like to provide a few helpful resources:. As you can see, seeding is quite simple.
