had to format, cant access any torrents
« on: October 29, 2009, 08:27:26 AM »
i had to format my computer today, nothing got saved or backed up, so i tried re-downloading a torrent i previously had and it ends up saying access denied. nothing more then that.
Ive already downloaded other things from utorrent. (not from this site)
i have a good ratio, i could do this before the format. windows firewall has utorrent allowed. so im really not sure whats causing this

Can you download the torrents (not opening)?

Elsewhere on the forum it was suggested to revert back to 1.8.3 for people having similar torrenting troubles IIRC.
Or had you used 1.8.4 before your format also?
Btw, Windows 7?

Until 2.0.1 Final is released, stick with 1.8.3.
