changing directories after commencing download

I am downloading from computers in internet cafes. As such, a download may not finish before I have to leave. I copy the utorrent directories (data dirs also) to my pen drive and want to resume at a later day.

What do I need to do if I cannot get the same directories as I am on a different machine. I can do it on my pen drive either as some computer don't allow me to set the drive letter. I know how to change the directories in the preferences but something else gets set by utorrent when I start the download.

How can you take good care of seeding back from an internet cafe?!?... :rolleyes:

What else "get's set"?

To redirect the saving path to the new location should be sufficient but you might always loose some edge pieces because of the recheck which will occur. Another way would be to use the BEncode editor to edit the data path in the resume.dat file. A forum search should help you to find more about it if you are interested. :)

Bluedragon, thanks, will give it a try.

Actually, I don't feel bad about the seeding thing as I usually maintain a 4-5.0 seeding ratio when at my permanent home. I am currently living in a small town with dirt streets in northern Argentina and hopefully, in a few weeks we will have something more than dialup at the house...hopefully :-) Thanks again.
