SunBright Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 hii know i can select where to place .torrent files and the actual torrents downloaded, but i'd really like to be able to also change the location of the configuration files that utorrent uses (.dat files) kind of like a like a portable version. in fact wasn't there such a version for utorrent ?? one that, if memory serves me right, placed all files in the same directory that it was ran from. was it removed after the merger ???is it possible ? i looked at all the options in the program carefully and found nothing.if not, i really suggest this as on option...thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schnurlos Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 Just follow http://www.utorrent.com/faq.php#How_can_I_use_.C2.B5Torrent_on_a_USB_key_or_other_removable_drive.3FIt doesn't matter if it's a USB, an external hdd or just a different folder on your PC Copy all the files from %appdata% into that "new" folder, place the utorrent.exe there too and start that one.

SunBright Posted October 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 done, thanks....i still think there should be a setting for this in the program's options just to make things real simple-like, right next to the other ones i already mentioned.anyway, so i assume the way the program works is that it first checks the root that the utorrent.exe is in for the .dat files and if there are none it searches for the default directory under \documents & settings\etc... ?also if i'm right, i also assume that if for argument's sake, there are .dat file in both the exe's root and the default directory, then the root gets priority. (at least i hope so) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 Yes, that is precisely what it does. If both are present, the one in the exe folder gets priority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
