any possible way to move utorrent to another pc.

like with all the downloads and stuff in it still with the same settings. Like completely package it so I can click utorrent on another pc and it will load with all my torrents already in.

also anyway to clean out my utorrent torrent folder. it has alot of torrent i no longer need like over 1500 but I only got 498 in the program anyway to delete all the torrents that dont have a entry in utorrent.

Thanks in advance if you can help.

u could always try either a crossover cable, strapping harddrives in the same tower or creating lan and transfering files

Yes you can.

Just back up the folder %appdata%\utorrent (with your history and settings plus the folder where .torrent files are saved if you set a different folder in Preferences > Directories) and your (in)complete data.

Of course do your clean-up (remove old torrents etc...).

If the drive letter or the path of torrents doesn't change on your another PC, uT will resume all your torrents.

If it's not the case, you can edit resume.dat with freeware BEncode Editor (http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=31306) and use function "find/replace" to change the drive letter in one click.

You can read the migration guide to autoload a batch of torrents: http://utorrent.com/migration_guide.php

ok so once i get to my other os. i just paste the utorrent files in appdata and move the hd to that pc and it will work, because I dled alot of torrents where i didnt dl everything in the torrent so i wouldnt want it to dl it when it moved it. and yes the drive letter will remain the same.

oh do i install utorrent first then paste over or paste the appdata files first.

Seriously I have explained all the steps. Copy and move %appdata%\utorrent and (in)complete data to your new PC. Then read my previous post if paths (drive letter e.g) have changed.

do you move the appdata before or after install of utorrent on new pc or does it not matter.
