I'm running Windows Home Premium x64 and the very latest version of Bittorent. I grab a few magnet links, and later, I either pause them or stop them before quitting the program itself. When I run Bittorent again, the torrents I had been working on have disappeared. The files are on the hard drive, but as far as the program is concerned, it didn't do anything before. I am able to get the magnet links again and do a "Force Recheck" to tell the program how far it had gotten, but that always takes forever.
Bittorent doesn't save my torrents

Hard to say what exactly is causing the issue...did it only happen once or does it reoccur? My advice would be to uninstall it, delete any possibly broken settings (probably stored in the various %appdata% folders) and then reinstall. If that doesn't fix it, there is always uTorrent.
And for the record, no one mentioned piracy. Nobody here is planning on downloading anything illegally, I assure you.

Look up where Bittorent saves the unfinished .torrent files - maybe it just doesn't - the directory could be wrong or something. Or another application (maybe Windows? Could happen - I've heard there are problems with things in Program Files, sometimes it locks content there or something) wipes them from the directory. Whatever it is, it seems the temporary storage of persistent information is the problem. Reinstalling might help, installing another torrent client is also an option.
It's in the AppData folder. It was a pain manually deleting the .torrents when I was squeezed for space on my hard drive. =PDoPo said:
OP, hunt around in the settings. There may be something there that you could've missed, and make sure to check in the AppData folder that I was telling DoPo about.
The folder itself is C:\Users\[you]\AppData\Roaming\BitTorrent. So look in there and reverify the files you've downloaded.
