Changing hard drive

Hey

I'm seeding torrents on my D drive, but I'm replacing that drive with a bigger one.

Can I move the seeding files to my C drive? Will they still seed?

Also my .torrent files [for seeding] are on the D drive too... will moving them effect anything?

Thanks heaps

As long as you keep the path the same, then you can probably edit the resume.dat (make a backup copy in case) and replace all occurrences of "C:" with "D:". But be aware that you MUST ABSOLUTELY keep all the paths the same. That includes the original "C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data" directory (though C: should also be changed to D: ).

If you don't do that, then you're going to have to either load all the .torrent files again and point to the correct location on disk, or set the new download location for each torrent, and force a recheck.

I think the two second methods sounds better for a novice like me... :)

How can I 'load the torrent files again'?

How can I set a new download location for a file that is seeding???

Thanks very much

All the .torrent files in %appdata%\uTorrent -- reload them, and point to the current location of the files on disk. It says "download" but yeah it's the same for uploading.
