I have been using uTorrent for years now and recently I was surprised that I had 24GB free. I thought that was because I deleted some unused apps, but after awhile, I noticed my Torrents folder was gone (I put finished torrents in my Downloads/Torrents folder).
I thought I accidentally deleted it (I use rm -r to delete huge files) so I shrugged and tried to download those 24GB back (after banging my head for the sheer stupidity).
This morning, I noticed that again, my Torrent folder was gone! This made me think that something MUST be deleting my torrent files. I am not sure but my hunch is uTorrent (so I just upgraded it) or something else entirely. This is getting frustrating, so I hope someone can help me on this.
My only guess is when I do CMD + W (I'm on a Mac, OSX Lion), it closes the window and somehow deletes the torrents? I am downloading files again now and will try to document what I do the tomorrow so I can add more input here.
