what to do after changing the drive letter of utorrent directories?

[WimIndonesia]

So far all my torrents and downloads were stored on my W drive.

They are still on that same drive, but I had to rename it to T.

Now uTorrent cannot find them, says they are all completed.

How to direct the program properly to the correct drive?

Changing the W into T in the preferences list of directories does not help.

What to do?

Thanks!

Changing the path in the Directories settings is not retroactive, it works only for the new torrents you'll load into µT.

2 solutions:

1/ Change the download location of the torrents jobs (Stop. Right click > Advanced > Set Download Location) then force a recheck.

2/ If you have a ton of torrent jobs, use the freeware BEncode Editor and edit resume.dat (stored in %appdata%\utorrent) with the function 'find/replace' to change in one click the drive letter.

Hi folks,

I would really appreciate if someone could advise me on the below:

Last summer I spent a good week of my life finding documentaries I was interested in on mininova but moved and lost my internet connection in the process. They are still all listed in my utorrent 'downloading' folder, some of them 80 percent downloaded, but now that mininova has changed, these documentaries are no longer available there.

Can anyone tell me if there is a way to generate a search for the same torrents on other sites (aside from individually looking up each one with a webbrowser which would take forever)?

Thanks so much,

Eddy

@EddyS: stop hijacking thread.

@moogly: thanks for your fast and adequate reply.

if i set a new download location, then which folder to select? the folder where the torrents are stored, where the downloading files are stored, where the completed downloaded files are stored?

because each of these files has its own location.

thanks in advance.

what?

EddyS: your issue is not appropriate for this thread.

My apologies. Thanks for letting me know. In what thread should I post my issue? This seemed like the most appropriate one to me.

@EddyS: Create a new thread in the General section.

@WimIndonesia: you need to select the folder where are the files (partial or complete).

If the torrent job #i has its files in the folder \torrent_i, you have to point this torrent job to \torrent_i.
