guns Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 I'm using an older version (1.2.2) and I'm hesitant to update. I've heard from a few people who had problems after updating, and I'm especially fearful of having to re-load every single one of my 150+ seeded torrents. I've been lax over the years, and haven't stored all the torrent files in the same folders, adding to the nightmare.Can you share your updating experiences?

Switeck Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 I don't believe it'll have to rehash your files unless something goes horribly wrong (power outage/crash at moment of upgrade and first run)....if something DOES go horribly wrong, you'll need to delete all the settings files -- but keep your .torrent files!You may lose info on ratios if you have to rehash, but the trackers you connect to won't!

Ultima Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 Upgrading from a version that far back, I'm not sure if the resume.dat has changed or not, so I wouldn't be surprised if you do have to recheck all your files... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nefarious Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 i dont think it has changed, u could always try backing up the settings.dat and resume.dat in case somethen goes wrong before the update... actually just resume.dat and resume.dat.old should be enough (settings.dat have changed many times) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
