jetgg Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 I have 2 PCs --- my main one, and the following one which is used almost exclusively for Torrent fun!My main HDD (on my Torrent machine) took a dump --- replaced it --- reinstalled WIN/XP and uTorrent. There was no chance of saving the %APPDATA%\uTorrent folder. The downloaded data folders were on a separate HDD and were not affected.After the reinstall is there a way to recreate the .torrent files that were stored in %APPDATA%?I have 90+ completed, very popular, torrents that I was seeding back to the community, but without the entries in %APPDATA% how can I continue to do that?After the uTorrent re-install and setting everything up again, I found in the Preferences a way to not save those files in the main %APPDATA% directory, but to save them instead on the secondary HDD with the downloaded torrents (in a separate folder from the data) - much safer for the future. That is under Preferences -> Direcories -> "Store .torrents in:". I updated that prior to the steps below.I went through the process of creating a new torrent (CTL/N) --- for each of the Torrents that had been previously downloaded.After making the new torrents, I added them back into uTorrent (CTL/O). I did a Force-ReCheck, it processed through everything fine. Then I "Start" the torrents. Out of 90+ torrents, only 4 will seed / upload now. Even for Torrents that I was previously seeding (some with swarms of 1000+) I only see 1 or 2 in the swarm.Have I gone through the process incorrectly? Why are only 4 out of 90+ working? Is what I am trying to do impossible? What else can I do to try and get this puppy humming again?Any help would be greatly appreciated, both for me and the swarm out there!

DreadWingKnight Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 Why not just re-download the .torrent files from the sites you uploaded them to or downloaded them from originally instead of wasting a LOT of resources creating new ones?
