jb122 Posted September 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 I did what the migration guide said. Now uTorrent can't open the .torrent files from the new location. It says: "Error. Can't open .torrent file: (old location)". I set the location of files and torrents in the preferences to the new location. What should I do?

dreamer77dd Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 I wish it was as simple as drag and drop into a new named folder.Then update the tracker or restart the program for it to find them.Right now it not at all easy to do.I find I re-download after Re-Checking the files.It just seems more complex then it needs to be.

PiusX Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 Because those torrent are linked to the old data saves and restarting them will reconnect them otherwise you will loose them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshace Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 I have had to move thousands of files around a few times. I found that it required me to re-load every saved torrent file I had (or throw them in to the auto directory). That is no big deal What is a problem is that by doing that, the program forces every file to be checked. While that is a good idea, there should be a way to SKIP checking - or just doing a "short" check. If I have 1000 torrents to re-load.. it can take days or even weeks to re-check every file completely when you have terabytes of files. I don't know a whole lot about how torrents work, but I think it might be possible to set a marker on a torrent to be either1 Unverified2 Verified3 Unverified but assume to be OK In the case of #3, the file should only be checked when a peer tried to leech it, or when the system is idle (no other torrents are queued for checking).
