Missing Torrent Files

Hi, I seem to be having a problem with Bitlord after a file has been downloaded. It seems, according to windows explorer and windows search, the files I download via torrents are non-existant.


I've done a manual search of the directory as well as the automated F3 way. The files are simply not there. Other forms of downloading work perfectly well so I would guess this is only related to torrent files or is some sort of glitch in Vista.

Could someone shed some light on why the files may not be showing up? No, I am not crazy and I have tested several torrents to ensure this is not a case of partial download. It is also not possible, given the searches and personal check of the download settings on Bitlord, that I may have been downloading files to a different directory. The standard \program files\bitlord\downloads is in effect.

When I right click on the torrent in Bitlord and go to properties-> browse I can clearly see the files ARE in the download directory. It gets stranger though, when I copy the file from here and attempt to paste it into C:, it says "cannot locate file". I then click properties in the bitlord browse screen to see what the folder size and it says 1GB which means the files I downloaded ARE there. I'll post screenshots in case any of this is convoluted.
