Finding torrents in downloading folder on different torrent sites

[EddyS]

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

Do you have each .torrent file corresponding to these (in)complete torrents? Or just the files?

Because if these torrents are public, DHT should work to find new peers and seeds.

I do have the .torrent files. What is DHT? Thank you!

DHT is a feature to find peers trackerless. Anyway Mininova is an indexer not a tracker for 95% of the deleted torrents.

So just load the .torrent into µT and select the folder where are the files you want to continue to seed/download. (http://www.utorrent.com/documentation/migrate)

µT will force a recheck and resume.

Thanks...but the recheck doesn't seem to do anything in itself and when I start them again it just says, "Error:the system cannot find path specified". Any other ideas?

If the files are in the folder \Folder, you have to point the torrent job to \Folder and not the folder containing this folder.

Stop the torrent job, right click > Advanced > Set Download Location then force a recheck.

Wow! It's working! That's soo great -- thank you!!!!
