Built new PC - can't I paste in /AppData/Utorrent/* and keep my stats?

[nocannothave]

So I had a previous build and it was time for a new one. I grabbed all of the /User/Application Data/* folders including the folder for Utorrent. 3000 or so .torrent files and these 5 files below. Once the new PC was done and Utorrent was installed, I pasted them into the new /App Data/Utorrent folder.

resume.dat

rss.dat

settings.dat

utorrent.lng

Opened Utorrent once more and none of the old active torrents loaded. I pasted in the 3000+ .torrent files and reloaded Utorrent with no luck. I thought I had done this the same way last year, so I am a bit surprised it did not work.

Any thoughts on how I screwed up?

you missed dht.dat

Resume.dat stores the torrent info. If it's < 1 KiB in size it's likely blank. You need to be sure the files ONLY have those extensions. Double check they're not double like .dat.DAT OR .dat.txt

:/ Also you can check out BFE in my signature to see if the resume.dat is valid. It may have been incomplete. If you have the OLD counterparts you should check them out too. (rss.dat.old, dht.dat.old, settings.dat.old, resume.dat.old)

You had to paste both the dat files and the torrents at the same time. Close ut and try pasting both again.

Well, thanks. Everything is back, including my stats. I thought I had transfered it all earlier today, but I guess not.

Much appreciated. Now lets hope someone else can find the topic through the search function.

Even if a lack of the torrents caused trouble, the display would show red X "unable to load ... torrent". I think something about the copy went amiss.

Edit: Good to hear.
