uTorrent crashes and ways to save files....

Recommended Posts

Okay so I will actually brush the thread up some if some answers are arrived at...

 

This is the issue...

 

On multiple occasions I have had weird problems with my computer during boot... some strange BSOD's that usually come after updating windows that fix.. ( which I doubt anyone has an answer for that yet.. if you did you better be at MS's door beating it down for the rest of the world's sake )

 

After a few of these when ( and yes uT was open and running during the crash..(es) two of them in this case... When I open the program it opens as if there are no torrents and no ongoing downloads.. no torrents listed.

 

I save all of my torrent files where I get them but have lost approximately three months of work...  and 200 downloads of rare and researched stuff I have been looking for and working on. Most of these that I have lost are from magnet uri links...

 

I found several files marked as .old and in order from 1 - 3.. in the uT dir.

 

My question is...

Is there a way to recover these from those files.. or a way other that downloading everything as a torrent file to back these up...

 

My program is set up to automatically move the torrent files over to another folder when finished... I load torrents from another folder... and I have it store torrents in another but for some reason it stays empty.. and URI's are not stored...

 

So sort of looking for a way to get around loosing all of my work when this happens... its getting old.

after adding your torrents manually backup resume.dat. and make regular backups after finished projects. that file holds information about ongoing and finished downloads.

 

I can't recommend you a way of restoring lost files (or old resume.dat) though. but sometimes utorrent makes auto backups as resume.dat.old (previous session)
