marshy1976 Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 (edited) Well this is a strange one! I recently changed version back to 0.70 but since then I can't find my downloaded files. They're not in the folder as set out in options, they definitly downloaded, they're not in the normal folder I used before changing version, I tried clicking on one and open directory but it says it cannot find it, I tried searching through windows but can't locate them, I tried temp folders etc no joy but the funny thing is I can preview them in full and skip through them so they must be on my hard drive somewhere, any ideas?

greywizard Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 What is the "Save Path" on the properties page of the task? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cassie Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 By default, the Downloads folder in version 0.70 is at C:\Program Files\BitComet\Downloads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lison21 Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 I have the same problem after reinstalling my laptop. I downloaded a big file (3.3Gb) and I'm seeding it now but I can't find it on my hard drive! It's not in the default directory nor anywhere else (I did a search on all my drives and nothing). When I try the OpenDir button in Bitcomet I get the message Location is not available... What happened to my file???? :blink: :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kluelos Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Very likely, it's in a location that your operating system is hiding from you. This is one of the reasons that we have that sticky topic marked "READ BEFORE POSTING" that tells you what information you need to include in your message, like, what operating system you're using? Because that's relevant?? So maybe you want to read that topic and include that information when you ask a question??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greywizard Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Do you care to check for and provide an answer to the question I've asked the other poster, before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lison21 Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 it's the default directory like I said before (C:\Program Files\BitComet\Downloads\) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greywizard Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Well, applications can't write anymore (without elevation to admin token) in the Program Files folder on Vista or Win 7, since it's a system folder. They are subject to a feature called data virtualization by which they get redirected in the VirtualStore folder under the user profile folder. Therefore, your files should be found under: Users\%userprofile%\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\BitComet. You'd better choose a download folder which doesn't reside in a system folder, if you use Vista or Win 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
