uTorrent Error

[Misinthe]

Hi everyone, lately, on some of my torrents, I keep getting an error that states "Error: Element not found. (Hash)" and I have to Force Start it to download, the weird part is that they were all already completed, and after I restart the program they go down to 98-99% and I have to start downloading that last percent again. Anyone know any idea as to why this is?

Thank you all.

Do you have a lot of torrents being tracked? If so, try removing some to see if it stops happening. 

 

If not, you can try deleting/renaming the application data folder for uTorrent.

I have about 180 of them. I will try cleaning them up and see if that helps. I will be moving everything to a NAS Server in a few weeks, so I can do clean up then. Thank you!

I'd bet the number of them is the issue. 

 

I've never used uTorrent myself, but I've found some clients can barely handle more than 50 before getting strange problems, like saying they've errored but then suddenly completing as they've been downloading all the while.

 

Recently set up a VM on my server to run it so I don't have to keep re-starting the client when I put my PC into hibernate or restart it.

Yeah, that's why I am creating a media server! I'll try and update when I do it.
