Help with uTorrent and seeding

picnic · 9 Jul 2012 at 08:35

Bit of a Torrent newbie here. I've started to download 174 files that make up a set of free Spanish photo scenery for FSX. Now someone is sending me the files on a drive and this will arrive before the torrents finish downloading. How can I replace the partially downloaded files with those from the HD so I can seed these files back in to the system?

The idea I had was to delete the incomplete files and put the competed ones in the completed folder but will uTorrent notice and see these as complete? I'm not sure as it looks like the local torrent file is used to keep tabs on which sections etc have been downloaded.

Any clues anyone?
TIA

Thanks but just to be clear, it's the intermediate file I overwrite or the completed file? Or both?

Thanks again, will bear these in mind when the drive arrives.

Roger that, BTW I think you meant 1cmake.

I fully intend to copy progress to date so if something does go wrong I can at least put the files back as was and finish the download the slow way so I can help others get this.
