peter7schmit Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 I propose an option to make uTorrent re-check all downloads on every start up. I require this because I have a vista/XP dual boot and I often shuffle between the two. I have uTorrent installed on both OS's and have set them to download to the same folder. However they fail to recognize each others input and I am forced to manually remove the torrent and upload it again. If there is an existing way to achieve this, it would be greatly appreciated if you could explain it in detail.Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 No way to do it, and no such thing will be implemented.However, there is a way to avoid needing to recheck at all.http://utorrent.com/faq.php#How_can_I_share_my_torrents_between_user_profiles.3FAlso, you don't have to remove a torrent to recheck the data, just stop it and hit force re-check in the right click menu.

peter7schmit Posted March 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 ok.. your idea sounds like a simpler option, but I don't fully understand how to achieve this."Simply copy the entire contents of %AppData%\uTorrent into the same folder as utorrent.exe. If using it in a multi-user environment, this folder should be accessible and writeable by all users so they can share settings and resume data."Unlike most other programs, you cant use the Vista utorrent shortcut inside XP (without the program being installed on XP)so, i have 2 install directories:C:\Program Files (vista)D:\Program Files (XP)Any chances of this being explained in more detail?

Firon Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 copy that folder to some dir, copy the exe to the same dir, and just run it. utorrent doesn't need to be installed (and even when it is "installed", it's still not really). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
