Reinstalling and recognizing torrents

Hi,

I want to format my C drive where uTorrent program is installed and install windows 7. I have all the files I downloaded with uTorrent and their torrents on a seperate hard disk. I want to install uTorrent again and I want uTorrent to recognize all my completed torrent files so that I can seed all the files that I downloaded. How can I do this?

Thank you

Save the whole folder %appdata%\utorrent and your (in)complete torrents and copy it on your fresh OS.

If the drive letter/path names are the same, uT will resume your torrent jobs.

Thank you. I found a folder in: C:\Users\Ys\AppData\Roaming\uTorrent

When I format and install the new OS, where should I copy this folder?

And what about preferances--> directories? Should I put the path of the torrents I downloaded in "Store .torrents in:" and in "Automatically load .torrents from:" ?

No, you should NEVER have those two settings be the same. That just breaks things horridly.

You copy the folder to the same location on the new os.

I am trying to achieve the same thing but I have Windows XP Professional.

Where would I find the data from the old computer so that I can ensure my newly formatted computer will have the same torrent settings as before--all of my downloaded/seeded/completed torrents, etc.

Thanks.
