Knightmare Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 In order to fix a problem I was having with uTorrent, I was instructed to delete the dat files in the uTorrent appdata folder. When I did this, it fixed the problem; however, I had to reassociate all of my torrent files with the program. I got all of the torrents associated with uTorrent, but uTorrent is now downloading torrents that should already be complete. For example, I fully download a movie and it has been complete for about 2 weeks. I had to reassociate the file and now it's downloading again! My question is, do I have to let this download complete before I can watch my movie, or do I have the full file and uTorrent is incorrect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator DKT27 Posted February 16, 2013 Administrator Share Posted February 16, 2013 Make sure they are selected to save the files where the files are originally stored. Pause the torrent(s). Right click the torrent and click "Force Re-check". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knightmare Posted February 16, 2013 Author Share Posted February 16, 2013 1) It looks like they're downloading to the same place2) Paused torrents3) Force re-check option is greyed-out. :wtf: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcs18 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I had to reassociate the file and now it's downloading again! My question is, do I have to let this download complete before I can watch my movie, or do I have the full file and uTorrent is incorrect?I'd wonder why you'd be unable to watch those movies - if they're downloaded just move them to wherever you generally archive them. BTW, that DAT you deleted contained your settings. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mara- Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 You didn't select your file location properly. For each torrent you need to select location where files were downloaded and uTorrent should automatically recognize that and start re-checking.Cheers ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator DKT27 Posted February 16, 2013 Administrator Share Posted February 16, 2013 What mara- said ^^. However, sometimes, sometimes it doesn't auto re-check.I've been there, done that.Anyway, instead of pause, use "stop". ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davhag Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Don't know, that is what I was asking which is better and what is the different and fastest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knightmare Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share Posted February 18, 2013 Well Bitcomet was faster for me, but big.uTorrent is smaller, but a little slower. Not much though. Then again, I'm in no hurry to get my torrents anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
