eyeheartny Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 I've spent 2+ hours searching and trying this to no avail. I realized my iTunes was moving files to the iTunes folder to organize and therefore I had double copies. I deleted the files that uTorrent originally DLed to free up HD space, but they lost the ability to seed because the app couldn't find the data, obviously. I tried to edit the .dat file, but that didn't work. The weird part is, when I open the resume.dat file in TextEdit the files have the correct path. However, when I open them in uTorrent and press start, they re-download, which is not what I want to do. I just want the app or the torrent file to know where the data is. I realize in the Windows version there's a way to do this, but please help me do this in OSX. I'm going nuts trying to figure this out and I can't find anything.

Zandros Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 Editing the resume.dat file does work. In addition to editing the path, you need to change the number right before the new path to how many characters there are in the the new path.

NoOneButMe Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 We don't really recommend editing resume.dat directly — messing with bencoded data improperly is bad.A much easier way (and probably quicker than counting characters in the dir path) is to just change the download directory and readd the torrent again.
