I have been using utorrent for years now and recently I was surprised that I had 24GB free. I thought that was because I deleted some unused apps, but after awhile, I noticed my Torrents folder was gone(I put finished torrents in my Downloads/Torrents folder)

I thought I accidentally deleted it(I use rm -r to delete huge files) so I shrugged and tried to download those 24GB back(after banging my head for the sheer stupidity)

This morning, I noticed that again, my Torrent folder was gone! This made me think that something MUST be deleting my torrent files. I am not sure but my hunch is uTorrent(so I just upgraded it) or something else entirely. This is getting frustrating, so I hope someone can help me on this.

My only guess is when I do CMD + w (I'm on a Mac, OSX Lion), it closes the window and somehow deletes the torrents? I am downloading files again now and will try to document what I do the tomorrow so I can add more input here.

If I remember correctly, if you select the default "Remove" action in µTorrent to remove a (possibly finished) torrent from the list, it deletes the associated data as well. The paramter gui.default_del_action controls this behavior. – Oliver Salzburg Feb 2 at 15:52
where do i set that parameter? – corroded Feb 2 at 16:02
also i didnt "remove" any torrent. i tend to keep all my torrents to seed them. i discovered they were gone when i turned on utorrent and all of my torrents had red exclamation marks beside them, meaning the files were gone – corroded Feb 2 at 16:03
This is where you can set the parameter, but given your update, I doubt it'll have any impact on your issue. – Oliver Salzburg Feb 2 at 16:06
oh sorry, i am on OSX lion...looks like this is a windows screen. it doesn't show any of those in my preferences window – corroded Feb 3 at 0:45
