    I'm literally going to flip my table here.

    Windows explorer didn't respond and I stuck at shutdown (have to hold power button)

    I also installed an update of flash player (although I don't think it matters)

    Upon restarting, I noticed no torrents was present at the bittorrent window

    I closed it (using task manager) and restarted it.

    Still no torrents

    I can though, readd torrent (.torrent files) and have bittorrent re-check the partly completed files.

    The problem is that I have a few files I can't resume, which is an ISO file, and a folder with multiple .exe and some more folders/system regs.

    And apparently adobe got uninstalled when I open up firefox

    What do I do now?


    EDIT: The ISO file is checking itself after 30 secs~ But exe does not

    reopen the .torrent files and have it download to the same place they were before, it should scan and resume, give it some time tho, it may take a while

    I opened the .torrent for the exe+reg files

    It prompted me to save to the D drive and create a new folder

    Should I use this new folder or should I reroute it to just the D drive?

    So, does the torrent have a folder inside of it? Or just files? Essentially you need it to match up exactly with how it was before. If you can avoid creating a new folder that would be my suggestion. If it is FORCING you to create a new folder, you may need to just do that and then put the existing files in there before you start the torrent and it should scan them and resume.
