How do I manually recheck my files?
If Transmission crashes, you may want to manually recheck your files:
- to verify that the download has not been corrupted
- to ensure Transmission continues where it left off and doesn't start over
To do this:
- In Transmission, click on the magnifying glass next to the torrent in question.
This should open a Finder window which displays all the files in your torrent.
- Select the torrent in Transmission and click "Remove".
NB: make sure you keep a copy of the torrent file - you'll need it later!
- Open the Terminal. You can find it in /Applications/Utilities.
- Once inside the Terminal, type "touch " (including a space). Do not hit Enter yet.
- Drag any one of the files you are downloading into the Terminal window (from the Finder window you opened in step 1).
The file path should automagically appear.
- Now hit "Enter" inside the terminal.
- Quit Terminal.
- Reload the torrent file in question into Transmission.
Transmission should start rechecking your files!
