Default Missing torrent files


I recently torrent a file which seems to be missing from my pc. One of
the solution proposed by some of the older forum thread includes
selecting compatibility files. I'm not sure what they meant by
compatibility files? I'm using vista x64 and I checked everywhere but I
can't seem to find what they are talking about.

some sources says it might be in the temporary internet folders. my
folder properties tell me it has 4gb+ of data in there, which is about
the same size as the file I torent, but when I open the folder there
seems to be only text files coming up to a couple of mb.

If anybody knows any solution help me out please

Hi,

On the desktop press Windows key + F3 Which will bring up the search
box. In the search box make sure you select the entire computer to be
searched. Then copy and paste the next line I'm going to type in the
search field. After that press enter or search


*.torrent

Copy the above line and I hope this helps. Good luck

I'm guessing the torrent has been permanently deleted. What's the
torrent anyway? If you don't mind me asking. Maybe I can get another
copy of it

Solved, it was in temporary Internet files all along. =(

vista apparently has a lot of safeguards within the TIF, its a long
winded step to open it folder by subfolder(have to go through dos to
delete some destop hidden file etc etc). However one guy suggest i copy
the exact address, and it was there all along, even though searching the
whole computer failed to find it.

thanks for your help anyway. have a nice day =)
