740902 Posted November 28, 2010 Report Posted November 28, 2010 HelloI'm seeding a number of torrents, around 200. I want to transfer to a new computer, and i want the new installation of uTorrent that I make on that new computer to appear _exactly_ like the one i used on the old. That includes all the torrents and their custom name as it appears (which is not the same as the torrent name if you change it). First problem. I don't want to manually add all the new torrents to the new computers uTorrent window. Why? Because then all the torrents will revert to their original screen name, e.g. the same name as the torrent file carries. Why do i want a different name? Because i seed a lot of music, which i have sorted in the utorrent seeding window so i can seed and still have a pretty well sorted music library at the same time. Where is the settings that tells uTorrent which torrents to load at startup? I place the old torrents in the new documents and settings folder of the new computer, however they do not appear in the uTorrent window, instead you have to add them manually. I have transfered the settings.dat, resume.dat etc files that also appears in the application data folder of uTorrent, but it does not help. Where is this data stored, and how do i transfer it from one computer to another?Reg.
moogly Posted November 28, 2010 Report Posted November 28, 2010 Move the partial/complete torrents and the entire folder %appdata%\utorrent storing your torrent history and settings.If the pathnames or drive letter are not the same on your new computer, just edit resume.dat with http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=31306 to change the paths with the function 'find/replace' as any text editor.
sdjensen Posted March 15, 2013 Report Posted March 15, 2013 Sorry to wake up this old task but I have a small question about which folders to move?Guess I have no issue for my torrents - since they will be on a mapped drive with the same letter on the new pc. But I don't see %appdata%\utorrent ? I can find User\%Appdata%\Roaming\uTorrent - is this the folder to move?Thanks in advance,Søren
sdjensen Posted March 15, 2013 Report Posted March 15, 2013 Thanks I figured out that I in the start menu could just type %appdata% and it would open the correct folder
