DreadWingKnight Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 UTorr 2.2.1 build 25302 Step 1> update as 2.2.1 hasn't been supported for a few years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1oldguy Posted August 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 Understood! But it is the recommended application for the site I use. would creating them in Xp & trying to view them in win 7 on a different pc have any impact ? If not is there a basic way to do this with a supported ver... might crossover to this version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 But it is the recommended application for the site I use. The site you use recommends you open security holes on your system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PiusX Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 Put this way you will have to restart your torrents in Windows 7 setup. If you copied the appdata/userfolder the new setup must match exactly as the old setup to work with the ext. Drive otherwise it will loose all the info and you will have to restart each torrents from the beginning again. I know this because even when I installed Windows 10 and kept the appdata/user folder I had to restart all the torrents again even when using the exact same setup. So what you need to do is read the utorrent migration instructions before you update otherwise if you loose the torrents there's nothing anyone can do to help you.
