Utorrent: the post formatting *NOW HURT AND BURN'S GENERAL POST-FORMAT FUCKUP THREAD*

I was in the process of downloading a fairly large (legal) torrent when I had to format my hard drive.

Now, I have the files I downloaded so far in the destination folder for Utorrent's partially downloaded files, and have attempted to finish the download.

The 'new' torrent fails to recognize the existing files, and has started at 0%.

Is there a way to fix this, or am I stuck re-downloading the entire thing?
^^Old problem.

New problem!
My computer is insisting that my C: drive is nearly full, when in reality it should have something like 90 gigs free. I am unable to find the location of any unusually large files.

    maybe you've already done this but have you tried forcing a re-check by right clicking on the torrent and selecting "force re-check?"

    Right-click on every folder in C: one at a time and go to properties. Size will be displayed. Ta-da, you find your 90 gigs. I'm betting Windows has it tucked away somewhere in the forum of back-ups/duplicates of a shittonne of stuff you forgot you ever had on there, it tends to pull that kind of shit over time.

    That did it. Turns out when I was transferring my music from my external HD, I somehow put a duplicate of everything in some obscure folder.

    Thanks.
