MatuX Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 Hey guys,I migrated uTorrent from my Windows to my newly a shiny Mac. I copied the resume.dat file from the %appData% dir in my Win to where uTorrent stores its data file in Mac. I got it working perfectly fine, it remembers all my torrents and where they were left.My only problem is that, obviously, each torrent still looks at my old Download path (something like "H:\My Downloads\Whatever The Torrent Download Is"). I've tried to look for the Win's Right Click -> Advanced -> Set Download Location... function, which I've used a hundred times before, but I can't find it.Is it there? If it isn't, I will request it on the Feature board.Please, if there isn't, could anyone be so kind as to point me if there is any way I can perform this? Perhaps just reloading the Torrent files would suffice? But I'm not really sure.Thanks a lot in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 If you still have your copy of Windows, you can edit the resume.dat using BEncode Editor, change the path key for each torrent to the corresponding path in the Mac, then copy the modified copy of resume.dat over.

Ultima Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 Make sure you keep a backup of your resume.dat, and read the warnings/instructions carefully for BEncode Editor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatuX Posted February 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 Awesome application.After decompressing and executing. It took me (literally) less than 3 minutes to do the whole task. I moved the resulting resume.dat file to my Mac and it had absolutely no problems at all.Congratulations on a really well developed app! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tygger Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 I have a similar problem as MatuX only my issue is contained with in a 2 harddrive iMac system. My original default location was on an external hard drive which I needed to eject to work on it on another machine. So remembering the windows version I simply copied the entire folded to the internal HD expecting to be able to set the new download location and force recheck. No such luck. After changing the new download location I couldn't locate "set download location" for the existing files to continue where they left off. The force recheck came back with 0% on all files. So I switched the download location back to the original file on the external HD (which I hadn't trashed yet) with the same result. So how do I get utorrent to realize I already have half of the files?Thanks in advance for any helpP.S. I am a mac newbie too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
