When you re-open the torrent file it will ask you where to save it. Make sure you select the exact same folder you saved it in the first time.
Basically what scribblec said.

i did....it said check previous files or something like that and went to 0%

Did you also save the original .torrent file to your computer?
Cause when I first started, I didn't and had to go to the website and re-open the torrent from there. If you are doing this then maybe you are getting the wrong copy of the file you are searching for.
This would cause it to start over cause it isn't the exact same file.

Otherwise I have no idea. I haven't had this happen to me.
