oh i figured that it has something to do with the incoming/temp folder.

sorry guyz im not to sure about the whole BT thing.

but in the incoming folder i have a total of 50 files... they all say flt-halo.001, flt-halo.002 etc. how do i turn this into the .bin or wateva?

check our temp folder and torrent and if you have set another folder for the files to go to when they complete then check that folder, maybe its in the process of completeing

everything is set to default. e.g incoming folder is set for C:/program files/BT++/incoming.


arghh this is sooo annoying i bet NOONE knows how to fix this one. ARGHHHHH im soo annoyed im only on 56k modem and it takes ages to download but you;d think it;ll still be 100% alrite.

process of completing?

i just double clicked the torrent file again (halo) and BT opened up and started downloading it again from scratch.

Lol, you have no ideah how many times that has happen to me.

WIth 4 hardrives, network shares, and 12 or so partitions, my bittorent files are sure to be saved somewhere I cant remember.

I dont think its the fact that it disappeared, its more like you probably forgot because bittorent files get saved where you tell it to save the files to. Next try creating a folder named bittorent and store all your torrents and completed bt files there.http://smilies.sofrayt.com/%5E/u/lamer.gif

just open the one that has .01 at the end with Winrar and then extract to wherever and it will go through all of them and you&#39;ll end up with the .bin and .cue

with BT++ it creates 4 folders as you said into the torrent folder comes the torrent files, temp is a temporary folder where the files are during download and income is where the files are when the download is finished. Dont ask me about the history folder.

Go to the incoming folder and look for the .001 ... files

have a look here --&#62; http://www.klboard.ath.cx/index.php?showtopic=82066

k its all sweet now.

i figured that i had installed the same version of BT in 2 different folders....

e.g program files/BT
and c:/software/BT

damnit i was wondering why it was weird seeing the incoming folder full one moment then the next it was empty . :blink: problem solved.

deleted the second BT install...that was installed in the other folder.

also downloaded winRAR, and extracted the 001 etc files which turned it into a bin and cue.

thanks for ya help :lol:
