Hugh_Janus Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 Hello all, hope these words find ya in the best of health. My question is about resuming my torrent downloads on a new phone. I recently got a new phone (s7). I had previously been using the program on an s5 and had it downloading to my external sd card. When I got my new phone, I still had quite a few torrents downloading at various intervals. I copied the torrent download folder to my new phone and placed it in the correct spot on the external. I then opened the magnet links and selected the download folder with all the previous incomplete downloads. I expected the program to do that 'calculating' thing where it would be checking the files and showing the progress of the download; much like it has always been doing when I'm resuming a torrent. Unfortunately, it seems like the torrent is downloading from scratch. I double checked the folier placement and everything is correct. What am I doing wrong? Additionally, I know that on computer to resume after fresh install requires some manipulation to the resume.dat file. My only guess is that I should carefully uninstall the program, then reinstall, and to goto settings and make sure I move the program storage (of the actual program not downloads) to the external sd. If anyone has any notions on how to proceed that would be great, but I rather not proceed any further, lest I muck it all up. If everyone is stumped I'll go ahead with my idea then post the results. Thanks for your time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
