Browsing for partially downloaded files
-
Hi.
I know it is possible to browse for snatched torrents, but is there a way to also filter torrents that were downloaded, but not snatched? I had to fully reset my PC, so now I am not sure what files I had that were not completely downloaded.
Thanks! -
Do you mean partially downloaded "ever", or simply what you may have been midway through downloading when your issue struck?
If the former, no. At least, not yet. You'll most likely have seen some torrents ar marked "Started". This means - somewhat obviously I guess - that you've at least started to download them, but never fully completed. Or, thinking about it, it could also mea you've simply grabbed the torrent and may not have downloaded any of it. I'm not sure about that. Unfortunately though, there's currently no way of filtering by that, though as the info is there it shouldn't be that difficult to introduce.
If you're trying to identify torrents you were in the middle of downloading, it depends what you mean by "reset". Clients store a copy of the .torrent files they're actively working on - usually out of sight in a user folder, unless you've overridden this. aBitorrent also stores something called a ".fastresume" file, so you don't have to recheck absolutely everything if you stop it for some reason then start it up again. I'm guessing most other clients would do something similar.
So if your reset didn't include nuking all of those files, they might be buried somewhere in one of your user folders. A recursive search for " *.torrent " files in your ".../user/" folder, and even in some other app, etc, folders, would be worth try.

Thanks! That was helpful
I found all .torrent files inside AppData in the Windows.old folder, seemingly created while refreshing my PC.
I do wish that in the future there is an option to filter downloaded or partially downloaded torrents since it is already able to distinguish these torrents from fully snatched ones.
