Change Of Directory Of Torrent Files

[OriginAlien]

Hi there.

I bought a new external HD specifically for my uTorrent directory as the incomplete section was becoming quite huge.

I have changed my directory of my incomplete's, my completes, and my torrent folder.

I have done this before i am sure, and not encountered this problem.

Upon reloading uTorrent after this file tree change, every torrent is coming up with "Unable to load torrent from d:\BlahBlah\Blah\Torrents ( which is the old directory )

I understand what it is saying, as i have moved the torrents directory the torrents in the list are all trying to access the old directory, but i have made it so that everything is accessable, the new torrents directory has been changed so it should load those same torrents from the new directory should it not?

Essentially, i have close to 2000 torrents. If i was to delete all those torrents from the que, then reload them that would be alot of tiresome boring work that would take days to reload and then reset the directory of where everything is kept.

Is there some way i can have the client acknowledge where the new torrents are and where the files that they have access to are kept without doing this? Or am i going to have to move the torrent directory back to the original place if i dont want to do all that work

Surely there is some way for the client to recognise this simple change without being forced to manually reset everything?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thankyou for taking the time to read this

EDIT** -

I have tried testing loading torrents automatically from a designated directory other than the original directory, the torrents will not load from there.

I have come up with an idea, which i will try momentarily, which is setting it so that a completed files torrents are moved to another directory, namely the directory i want it in now......

We'll see if that works

If it was only a parent directory/drive change, then you can probably use BEncode Editor to modify resume.dat to your needs (it has a Find/Replace facility for batch replacing of paths).

Create a new folder somewhere (anywhere), and move all your .torrent files there as a temporary measure. In uTorrent's settings, tell it to store .torrent files in the directory you want them to be in pemanently. Then remove all your torrents from uTorrent. Once that's down, you can tell uTorrent to load torrents automatically from the temorary directory you created above. Once they're all loaded, you can uncheck the option to load .torrent files automatically and delete the temporary directory. Everything should be up and running.
