Azureus/Vuze corrupted?? - VioletLite - 09-07-2009

Anyone had this happen out of the blue?

I was running it fine and restarted my pc after downloading something for my BlackBerry. Vuze went to restart and I noticed all of my torrents were gone from my library. Then I had about 6 little error popups come up saying that it couldn't find the file path. Tried loading the downloaded stuff again and it wasn't having any of it. Uninstalled then reinstalled but same thing happened. Kinda frustrating........ my ratio is only .36 and I am trying to get it up. :nooooo

Forget Azureus/Vuze - go with uTorrent (Windows) or Transmission (Mac).

I'll second that, I had nothing but problems with Azureus. As soon as I switched over to uTorrent all of the problems I was having with torrenting were fixed.

Ah balls.

Thanks for the advice guys, I will dl Utorrent tonight when I get home.

Re: Azureus/Vuze corrupted?? - VioletLite - 09-08-2009

Meh, I suck at this. All of my downloaded torrents are gone but two. :censored

Got uTorrent though, works great. Thanks for the recommendation fellas.

But the downloaded files are still on your hard drive, right? If so just go get another .torrent file of the show, open it with uTorrent and it should resume.

Re: Azureus/Vuze corrupted?? - VioletLite - 09-09-2009

I looked for the dloaded torrents and couldn't find them anywhere - only the converted flac files.
So are you saying that I just need to grab the torrents again from the tracker and put them in utorrent and they will just resume as normal completed files (because they're somewhere on my hard drive)?
Sorry to be annoying with this. I'm not the brightest crayon in the box so your help is appreciated!

Let's take it one step at a time and be sure we're using the same terms:

"converted flac files" - what does this mean? Do you mean completed? As in, the download was completed and you have the FLAC files on your hard drive? If so, then the answer to your question is yes - as long as the FLACs are in the "COMPLETED" directory you setup in uTorrent.

Re: Azureus/Vuze corrupted?? - VioletLite - 09-09-2009

Not exactly.

I download the torrent, once the torrent is completed, I import the files in to a flac conversion program to convert them to mp3. Then I import them in to iTunes. Once I do this, the original flac files then display the iTunes logo on them but they are still listed as flac, not mp3.

I tried to pull these flac files in to uTorrent but it said something about it taking up too much memory. I'm guessing because something changed with the file once I converted it to mp3, despite it still saying it is a flac file.

See what happens when people let me play with the big boys? :mrgreen:

I think it's all sorted out now. My very patient friend talked me off the ledge :wink:

It appears that when I convert the flac files, I've got it set up so that it overwrites the originals. Smart I know.

Thanks for yer help though, Chris.
