I don't know what happened, but I somehow lost all of my FLAC files that were stored on my hard drive. When I try to open them with UTorrent, there should be an option that says "open containing folder", which opens the folder with the download along with every individual track. I have no idea what happened, but none of my flac torrent links have the folder that lets me play it. I had 64 complete Who concerts, and I think I lost all of them. Every. Fucking. One.

search your hard drive for files called *.flac, they've gotta be somewhere.   If you're sure they've been deleted, you can get undelete software (google search)

I took all of my files off the computer though. It's all on my hard drive. Would doing a computer search still show them somewhere? Even when I plug my hard drive into my laptop, I still can't play any of the flac files. The torents are there, but I can't figure out a way to play them. I can't find the folders with the actual song files.

Does your computer still see the drive?  Try plugging the drive into another PC.  If the drive still works the files are probably still there.  If the drive is dead... things are little more difficult.

You know if you delete the torrents after dl them there is a selection in the drop-down menu - Delete Torrent + Data - DONT select that.
Did you try to explore the external HDD with file manager or Search - if those flac files got moved or the folder they were in renamed then (Open Containing Folder) wont show them. Good Luck!

Hey Little Tomboy is creepy. Banging women by the pool is fun and conjures up warm summer thoughts a Beach Boys song should.
