How do I to salvage my incomplete downloads?

[LarryR]

Hi

I have some large incomplete downloaded torrents. I have changed/replaced my computer and would like to start uTorrent downloading where I left off. However I have no idea how to put the incomplete torrent onto uTorrent list to enable me to continue downloading rather that starting from scratch. Can you point me to the solution

Many thanks

Larry

Look at the migration guide: http://www.utorrent.com/migration_guide.php

Use the auto-load procedure if you have a lot of torrents to resume and finish.

Thanks for your reply moogly. I have read the migration guide very carefully however it does seen to deal with the problem I face. ... "How to put nearly completed large torrent downloads into uTorrent and have them continue until completed. I have changed computers and have my uT incomplete torrent folder.

Perhaps I have not understood the guide. Enlighten if possible .

Thanks

Ok.

In uT you need to set for each torrent the good storage location where are your incomplete data.

So if each torrent job is still present in uT, stop the torrent, right click, Advanced > Set Dwl Location.

Then you choose the folder with your incomplete data. Force a re-check and restart the torrent job.

If the torrent is not in the uT window, you need to retrieve the .torrent (from the tracker or your back-up device e.g), reload it in uT and choose the folder with your incomplete data. uT will force a reacheck and continue to download/seed.

NB: Of course before formatting or reinstalling the OS, it is better to save the entire contents of folder %appdata%\utorrent with your settings & history. Same thing for your (in)complete data (as you did it) if they are on the same partition..
