can't finish started Downloads after Windows re-install

[razorblade]

I couldn't log in to my windows and so i decided to re-install.

I re-installed a fresh Windows XP INstallation on an other drive.

I re-installed utorrent (also on the other drive).

I changed the settings like on the old installation (where to store downloads, where to store finished and the network settings).

But now none of the downloads is shown in utorrent.

I found some advice in the forum, to store some files from the "application data/utorrent" folder, but there is absolutely no folder like that.

How can I finish my started downloads?

thanks

You didn't back up the .torrent files when re-installing. You'll most likely have to re-download the .torrent files so you can resume.

where are the .torrents files stored, or does utorrent rename them?

I couldn't find them on my hard disk.

But, yes I made mistake and deleted the original .torrents files after they were enqued.

thanks

You should've backed them up -before- re-installing. They get stored in %AppData%\uTorrent (which now points to your new empty one)

if you didn't format, you should still be able to get your old user profile and recover them, as well as your settings and resume data.

hello Firon,

thanks this one has worked..

I could recover my user profile and my torrents are loading fine.

Wait, before you do that, you can actually just copy resume.dat and settings.dat (with µTorrent closed), and you won't even need to hash check all your torrents... just new ones, or ones you've DLed stuff from now.
