No Files shown in dialog box

Binary package hint: bittorrent

Hi!

My downloaded files and completed files were showing perfectly in the dialog box in Bittorrent version 6.1.2, until my computer showed a blue screen and crashed.

When the computer recover and I restarted bittorrent everything was all right except the top dialog box was empty. I checked Options > Preference > Directories and the directories that I set were still there. I tried taking the ticks off the directories so Bittorrent could not see them. Then restarted Bittorrent - still the same. Then I replied the ticks to the Directories so Bittorrent can act on the changes. But it made no differents.

Then I reinstalled Bittorrent over the top of the original, but it made no differents. I download two torrent files from the interent to see if Bittorrent would take and show the files. It did and showed the two files. They completed their download and Bittorrent put then in the same directory as I had previously chosen. However, they show up in the completed Dialog Box, but no other files are shown, so uploader cannot seed from my other files.

I have a desktop computer with Duel Core. Running Vista, Ultimate.

I would be very pleased if you could advise me.

I found a solution. Because I used eMule which is slow, I am not really clued up with Bittorrent. I was like most people just happy that it was working properly.

The solution is a bit tedious, but what I did was make new torrents of all the programs I had downloaded.

1. Click on Create New Torrent

2. Click on Add Directory, Then go to the Directory where the program is stored and highlight it

3. Make sure the tick is on Start Seeding, then click on Create and save

4. It will say do not use tracker - say yes

5. It will say do you want the use the data in that folder say - yes

You will now see the program appear in the Completed dialog box in Bitorrent.

I had to do that for each folder, I do not know if you can do them in bulk.

I was glad I find the solution. I hope it helps others with the same problem.
