Looking for a show you've been to? Want to help the community and offer a B&P? Interested in trading videos? Have a new BitTorrent to offer or video to download? This is the place.
Is there any way to recover a bit torrent if your computer turns off. I let the torrent run and when I got home a storm had turned the power off. I opened bit tornado and the torrent but it started from the begining and I only had about 4 or 5 songs left!!!!?!?!? do I have to start over for those songs?

I've never used BitTornado, but the way it works in standard BT clients is that you simply open up the torrent again, point it to where it was saving the files to at first, and it resumes right from where it stopped. In ABC (my preferred client), it saves all the locations and everything and you just hit "resume" on whichever torrent in your list and it goes from where it stopped.
In Bit Tornado, if you get interrupted just double click on the torrent link that you initially saved to your hard drive (that is why it is important to "right click and save as" the torrent link before you start the torrent in the very 1st place)......it should start right back up...it might look like it is starting all over again, but look carefully and it will say "checking data" or something like that (it is just finding out what you have so it knows where to pick up). If it IS actually starting over by asking you pick a folder for the show to go, then do like Brock said and point it to the folder that you were originally downloading to.....that should do it.
If it does not, post here and I will try to help.
