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 -- Zilius |

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 -- oreo27 It's going to be Legend... Wait for it, wait for it.... dary. Follow the bro code.

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 =) -- Zilius |
