Hi
Need some help, can one of you young 'uns help an old uncle out?
Auntie called and she needs a machine so there goes my trusty old Sempron 2500+ and 19" monitor.
Trouble is, there's a bunch of torrents that need to be moved off that machine and onto a different (new, yipee!) rig. I use uTorrent 1.7.5 for this stuff.
There are essentially three issues.
1. I've used the default download location of \my documents\downloads for all the downloads. I need to move these into a new machine. I think even the drive letters will match (I use d:\), so if I just move the files is it enough for utorrent to recognise the completed files and their status?
2. For those torrents which are still incomplete, how do I get uTorrent to recognise their completion status and resume from where they left off.
3. Lastly, what happens to all this if I move the download location elsewhere (create a new directory, say on e:\) and then move the files in? What do I have to do that is different from the info above?
With Kazaa (a little program from ages ago) the incomplete files would contain the status, peer and seed info, everything. You just had to pop them into a shared directory and that was it. I have a feeling it isn't that simple here, or am I missing something?
I found this µTorrent - The lightweight and efficient BitTorrent client - FAQ but it doesn't say anything about migrating from utorrent to utorrent. I would just go ahead and do some of those steps anyway, but somehow don't want the risk of losing a 4GB download in the middle - my connection is very slow.
Thanks for the help.
