That's usually not a problem as uTorrent, my torrent client of choice, restores the session on the next start of the program. When I started the client today it showed nothing however. No torrents were listed, and the downloading, seeding and completed lists were all empty as well.
It happened in the past, usually after updates, that uTorrent reverted to default directories both for the program itself and the download locations. This time however, that was not the case. This was quite puzzling and somewhat annoying, as I tend to delete downloaded torrent information files when I add them to the client if they are not magnet files so that I was not able to simply reload them into the program.
Next stop was the temporary storage folder that uTorrent uses to place downloads and torrents that it uses in. The folders and files of the torrents that were started yesterday were in that folder, but the torrent files were not. Usually, torrent files are saved here too. I had no desire to go back to the sites I downloaded the torrent files from to do that again. I spend about half an hour yesterday doing that and the prospect of having to do so again was not very appealing.
If I would not have deleted them yesterday, all I would have to do is load the torrent files again. The uTorrent client checks them for completion automatically and starts to download the remaining data after those checks. So, check the temporary folder that uTorrent uses first, then the system's download folder. If the torrents are not there anymore, continue below.
Since I did not have those files, I only had one other choice: uTorrent saves session information to a file called resume. And just like Firefox does , it keeps a copy of an older version of that file so that you can restore an older session. With uTorrent still open, fire up your system's file manager and go to the program directory of the application. Just paste that into Windows Explorer or another file manager and the program directory should open up.
If you have installed uTorrent to a custom directory instead youneed to open that folder obviously. Here you find the resume. If things work out, uTorrent should pick up the last session and display the torrents again that you have added to download previously. Please note that this won't work if the old session file has already been replaced with a newer copy. Luckily Bitcomet never had have this problem. While downloading if it reports there is a newer version available it asks me to download it via FTP or as a torrent.
I may also disable this behavior manually should I choose to. Thanks for the good article mate, unfortunately my dat. If you are running windows 7 and I expect Windows 8 , then you may be able to restore this file from the system restore by simply right clicking on it,. System Restore does not work either, which is infuriating because a Windows update is what did and always DOES this to my Torrents which Im seeding and d-loading at the time.
The only thing that works is going in manually and doing it, which is harder and harder each time because my list gets bigger and bigger. Sparks solution was perfect! So Sparks solution was great thank you all. I know next to nothing about torrenting but I found this very simple, and easy instructions to follow. Worked well, cheers.

I just loaded all the. Once checked, the downloads resumed from they were left off. Double click each of them and they will reappear. After rechecking, the downloading process will be resumed. I wish UTorrent worked better with Windows updates and vice versa, this usually happens after an update!
You probably have started and quitted utorrent several times after the problem first occured. Thus you have lost the old resume. Why were the resume. When I delete the. BAD from the resume. I managed to get my files back but I have a lot of resume. Thank you for the tip. There is a simple solution to that problem.

What about Windows? I'm using english and no I've never changed it from system default but I made sure and checked just in case. I dunno if it's some sort of damage from a virus or something, like maybe corrupted some registry entry? I don't know if that's even possible but I can't understand why it would work and then just not.
