Possible to save all downloads and downloads in progress ext harddrive folder between systems?

I'm preparing to ferret out some bugs in my system by erasing the drive and reinstalling Acronis's ISO image of my system made months ago. 

 

Extremely handy way to deal with pesky viruses and bug and hamhanded preferences i've readjusted and forgotten about.  Takes 12 minutes start to finish to replace the system, complete with my original preferences and favorite trusted programs completely fresh.

 

However I've got almost two dozen files in cue to download via Utorrent and four completed that have not been extracted yet. 

 

Can I save the whole of this somehow to a file/folder,  transfer that to my external harddrive, and then pick up where I left off after reinstalling the Acronis ISO onto my cleaned HD?

 

Thanks

Put this way just copy your folder utorrent from the user roaming data folder and copy that back into the same location in your new install and that should start your torrents as though they existed there before. That is what I do reboot the image with acronis and copy back the ut data folder back to the user roaming folder location where the installed ut data roaming is located either overwriting it or deleting the folder and putting your ut data folder in it place and you just restart ut and it continues where it stopped last. Make sure all the save location matches the original or else this will not work. That transfer to HDD works if your saving the torrent and started torrents but it will not restart correctly if you don't copy those files back to the same location as before - if you don't it will start at 0bytes not xx bytes that you stopped it at. So the HDD can save the files and data for ut but they need to be put back to the same locations for this to work.
