How to Recover BitTorrent Files

BitTorrent

Let’s face it; if you like downloading stuff from torrent sites, you might have encountered an issue with missing files. For instance, you downloaded a file completely and accidentally removed the file from the torrent client. In this case, many people may find it hard to locate the .torrent file on their computer. They would start the download again. That can work, but we ought to tell you that you can recover torrent files (BitTorrent included) from your computer.

That is because when you remove the torrents from the client application, your computer doesn’t remove the data files you used to download the content. Therefore, you wonder, “Is it possible to recover torrent files?” The answer is yes, and let’s have a look at how you can do it.

Method 1: Recover BitTorrent Files Manually

Every downloading application creates a directory on your system. Whether you use uTorrent or BitTorrent, you’ll be able to see a folder named after them on your local drive. Here is how to locate the folder:

  1. Right-click the torrent client and go to properties.
  2. Go to the “General” Tab and locate the folder where the app stores the saved and downloaded files.
  3. Copy the URL and paste it into the Windows File Explorer directory path C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\BitTorrent\
  4. Once you find the folder, you can recover the deleted torrent by double-clicking it.

Note. The “AppData” folder might be hidden. You can switch to the View tab in the top menu and put a checkmark on “Hidden files”.

Method 2: Using Search Option to Recover BitTorrent Files

Here’s what to do:

  1. Open the Windows File Explorer search option, type %appdata% and press the Enter key.
  2. Now type: C:\Users\AppData\Roaming\ to find BitTorrent folder.
  3. As you find the deleted torrent file, you can double-click it to restore it.

You can resume the canceled or deleted torrent files using the first two methods.
