But I still cannot play these files since uTorrent only launches these files from where it thinks their stored. Note: it actually built these files up within uTorrent from individual pieces up to 100% during recheck (went from All Red -> filled in random Blue until -> All Blue) as if it had the data stored somewhere. : uTorrent status = 100% complete of 189Mb | File system = 0Kb file : uTorrent status = 100% complete of 267Mb | File system = Does not exist Here's the results AFTER the auto recheck: įor each of these files, I relocated them to where it found them (the common directory where all the other files are currently downloading correctly to) and then hit start torrent. UPDATE: Ok, I did that with two files - I deleted one of my 0KB files, and left another as-is in the directory. Let me do that and I'll get right back with you. Shouldn't uTorrent see that, "Hey this file is no longer here, maybe I should mark that file in my list as now 0% and start re-downloading this individual file"?

If i have a completely done torrent (100% and seeding) and then i take the following actions:Ģ) Delete a single file from the torrent through windows (not utorrent)ģ) Go back to uTorrent and select Force Re-check After recheck, it discovers all pieces of that one file, and then after it finishes, uTorrent recognises that file to be 100% done, and yet the HD data is still at 0KB, so i dont know where uTorrent could be checking and verifying the data from since the source file has no data within it.ĮDIT: Maybe this would be a better question. Jewelisheaven: I've already applied the compact allocation fix thanks to another post before posting in this thread, and haven't yet got an access denied message (Compact is off and i no longer have a. uTorrent works as it's supposed to on all the other torrents' files, but I wish there was a fucntion uTorrent shipped with for actually verifying PHYSICALLY STORED DATA from the files that it maps to GTHK: I dont think this is a Windows bug, no open file handles are currently accessing the 0KB files.

My temporary fix was to install Azureus and just download the corrupt files and basically paste them into utorrents download directory and then it works fine from there, but not a great long term solution. !ut on and off, pre-allocate files on / off) each time restarting uTorrent and rechecking. I have tried a few combinations with preference settings (compact allocation fix, append. Now, when I re-check the torrent and it gets to my 2-3 files that are 0kb on the hard drive, it looks like it actually is finding pieces for it, and it seems to reconstruct 100% of the file after a successful re-check (ie no % loss in overall torrent).


So I thought I noticed in uTorrent 1.8 beta's changelog that it Fixes an issue with 'Fix: Show 100% for zero byte files', and promptly download 1.8 beta thinking this might help. Deleted the 0kb file and did another re-check, same problem. I've stopped and forced a re-check, but nothing.

This is the unix philosophy - one tool, one job, use them together to do what you need to do.I'm using in uTorrent 1.7.7, and my issue is that only a few files out of my 50-file torrent show up as 100% done, but are actually 0kb on the hard drive. So better to use each tool for its proper job. Also not every version of the find utility has the -delete option. The advantage is that you use one tool to find the files, another tool to remove them. In brief, the -exec gives you a bit more control over the actual command that removes the found item. However, if you look at the -exec version you can see a subtle difference: sudo find / -iname ".file-to-delete" -exec rm \ For a machine such as your macbook you won't find much difference in performance between the two commands.
