Murfallo Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 Hello. I use BitTorrent 7.8.2 on Windows7.Today I have tried downloading a large video and accidentally executed the file in the beginning of the download. The player launched but stopped responding soon after playing the first couple of seconds. I have terminated the player process, stopped the torrent and deleted it, believing the file to be corrupted. After I restarted the download the torrent client now freezes every time it reaches the same spot where I stopped it before, about 0,9%, and the video file can't be deleted from the drive - any process which attempts to access the file goes into an endless loading. Needless to say, the file has already marked the real estate on the HDD as its own, despite not being on my machine yet. I would be grateful, if someone could suggest a way to revert the situation to normal. Best regards,Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Feit Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 You may need to delete the file from the command prompt rather than through the explorer interface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murfallo Posted February 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 Thank you for your idea. Unfortunately, it didn't work.The "dir" reports the file is there, but the "del" returns "Unable to find xxxxxx.mkv". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Feit Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 Try moving the entire folder up closer to the root of the drive then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murfallo Posted February 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 This solution worked.Thank you very much.So, the problem was in the long path to the file?Somehow I forgot that it can still be an issue sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Feit Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 Probably was. The limits are still there in many interfaces that windows uses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
