Fixes For ‘Element Not Found’ Error In uTorrent
Fix 1: You Have Renamed Or Removed Files From A Torrent Job
As per our research “Element Not Found” error mainly comes when users have remanded or removed any files from a torrent job, if you also have done this then try re-adding or renaming the file back, and then check if the error still comes or not. If the error still comes then force a recheck on the torrent job.
If you don’t know then “Force Re-Check tells µTorrent to check the torrent contents of the selected torrent job(s) for missing files and pieces that fail the hash check. Even if multiple torrent jobs are selected to be re-checked, µTorrent will check them sequentially, one at a time (known as a round-robin method). Pausing a torrent job while it is being re-checked will pause the re-checking process for that torrent job, and will move on to the next torrent job to re-check if multiple torrent jobs are selected. Any incomplete pieces in the torrent contents will be removed during the re-checking process, so a drop in progress percentage would not be an unlikely occurrence.” Source
Fix 2: Make Sure You Have Enough Space
In our research we have found a few users who were having this error because there was not enough space on their device against the file they were trying to download, so we will also suggest you to make sure that you have enough space left on your device against the file you are trying to download, if not then consider making some space and then try downloading the file again.
Fix 3: Are You Downloading Multiple Torrents Files?
In our research, we also have found that for many users this error was coming because multiple torrents files were using the same download path, so if you are downloading multiple torrents then make sure any of them are not using the same download path.
