Swapping bittorrent clients mid download

wsh · 10 Jun 2007 at 11:13

Is it possible to swap from bitlord to azureus in the middle of downloading files? Thanks

You just relocate your directory in your new client to where the files were getting downloaded to in your old one.. if that makes sence

it's fine, i've done it before. just open the torrent in the new client, choose to save the download in the same location and it will detect/check what's already there and then carry on.

I've partly downloaded a large file on one PC and need to continue it on another.

Thanks for the replies!

Sorry if I didn't explain clearly in post #7.

The PC I started the download on is running Bitlord. I've had to continue the download with another PC that has Azureus installed since I don't have access to the original PC now.

Its all working fine. Thanks.
