Can't make torrents download to C:\ drive instead of C:\ Drive

[mikemenzie]

I realized after I downloaded and started uTorrent on this computer that everything is set to download to my C:\ drive, which is my OS drive. I have a split drive and my "other" drive, which is my D:\ drive, is my Data drive. All of my torrents were by default set to download contents to my downloads folder on my C:\ drive. My C:\ drive is not large enough for this. I looked in the uTorrent help topics just in case and it states

"Put new downloads in" specifies the default location that the contents of newly added torrent jobs will be downloaded to.

"Move completed downloads to" specifies the location that torrent contents that have finished downloading should be moved to. Files are moved immediately after the torrent job finishes downloading and the files are written to disk.

I made "Put new downloads in" say D:\DL's

I made "Move completed downloads to" say D:\DL's\Completed

I deleted all of the partially downloaded things that were by default sent to my C:\ drive, and did force-recheck and restarted each download from the beginning. When they restarted, they automatically started downloading in the C:\ drive again, and continue to do so, no matter what I do to try and change things to make them download to the D:\ drive.

I need to know how to make my torrents download to the D:\ drive like I need them to, so I don't constantly fill my C:\ drive to capacity and have to move stuff over every couple of gigs.

Thanks a lot!

Did you remove and re-add the torrents after changing the preferences?

Changing the directories settings are not retroactive, applies only to the new torrents.

Why did you delete the partial torrents?

You just need to move them from C: to D: then set a new download location in uT:

stop the torrent job, right click, Advanced > Set Download Location then select the new containing folder in D:.

µT will force a recheck and resume.
