Reloading PC but want to keep torrent data?

Prophet · 19 Mar 2009 at 22:18

I'm reloading my PC at the weekend and would like to keep my uTorrent info in place. All the downloads are on data drive so won't be touched.

Is there a way to reload uTorrent after the install which will enable it to carry on where it left off (seeding etc)

TIA

All the torrent's you've downloaded or that are active should be in \users\username\AppData\Roaming\uTorrent (assuming Vista)

That's all you should need.

So I just reload utorrent and copy that info over?

Yup, as long as you shove the stuff in the same folder or point utorrent to where it is, it'll work fine.

Yes, if you copy the folder into the same position it should just put all the torrents back into uTorrent for you, if not you should just be able to load them en mass and it will achieve the same effect.

However just to note it will not retain any of the information like amount uploaded/downloaded or seed ratio, but will definitely continue to seed/download where it left off.
