DISAPPEARING FILES

Post by bizzo »

So the other day, all my seeding torrents suddenly started showing "Error: No data found!"

Today, I downloaded a lot more.

Transmission (I assume) crashed my computer.

Now all the old files are seeding again, but the ones from today aren't.

I NEED THE ONES FROM TODAY TO BE SEEDING. NOW. PLEASE.

Every time I "Move data file to..." nothing happens. I've reset my computer, unplugged my hard drive... everything.
Why is this happening?

Unfortunately, Transmission doesn't even recognize that there's any local data to verify. I'll tell it to move the data file, but nothing at all happens. Do I need to reinstall or something?

To add to x190's comment:

If the drive/ location that you have set in your preferences isn't there/up and running when you launch Transmission, then the location gets quietly re-created at the root level :twisted: .

Soooooo you could some confusion regarding where the stuff really is. :roll:

Don't just check your preferences --- ***browse*** the settings. My bet is that you have a drive and a folder at your root with the same name and internal hierarchy. Migrate from the sneakily created folder to the real desired location ---- but set your "from" and "to" by browsing the selection. Don't rely on the name. :wink:
