Adding massive amount of torrents at once?

Hi!

I've ordered a new computer with the only purpose of seeding the Wikileaks documents. The problem is that there are about 43000 torrents in the file that contains the torrents. The torrent files are also in different catalogs. This makes it very difficult to add torrents to uTorrent.

What I would like is to get a suggestion of an add-on or a program that helps me to add all the torrents at once, instead of manually adding them of having to go into each catalog and select ie 10 torrents at the time, add them and then move on to the next ones. Is there a function in uTorrent that I can use do add them all at the same time? This would be a nice feature in uTorrent if it does not exist already.

Well 10 torrents might be wrong of me to say, but when I tried to add ie 10-15-25-50 torrents at once on my other stationary computer and my laptop and nothing happened when selecting them and pressing the enter key on my keyboard. That is why I assume that there is something fishy with adding torrents. 10 torrents at the time went fine.

There is no such limit. µTorrent will add an arbitrary number of torrents. If it goes beyond a certain threshold (100 I believe), it'll add silently without prompting with a dialog.

You can always use auto-load to load all the torrents from a directory to be saved into the default download location.

Hi there again

When marking everything in explorer and clicking on enter, nothing is added when selecting a large amount of torrents. But when using "Add torrent" in uTorrent it goes well. Problem still persists though, because I cannot make uTorrent add torrents in sub catalog's. Is there a solution for this? Please post asap. Working with it now and It seems that I have to take all torrents in the sub folders and put them into a catalog for it to work unless I choose Add torrent and then manually go into every sub folder but in the Wikl documents there are just too many sub folders. This is ridiculous.

How can I do so It takes all torrents in all catalogs/sub folders at the same time?

Forgot to tell you about one thing also:

Now I've tried on my desktop, a laptop and the new "mini-all-in-one-desktop"-computer to select lots of torrents at the same time in explorer and in uTorrent. In the default folder of Wikil there are around 1700 torrents. When using uTorrent and adding them nothing happens after around 30 minutes. No hard drive activity. Nothing added. Tried to add less I.e. all numbers- + - letter A torrents - + - letter B torrents - its 211 torrents. At least the computers hard drive seems to do something. Going to wait a bit and see if it adds all the torrents.

Waited around 50 minutes. Hard drive had stopped working hard, but no torrents (211 of them) where added. Restarted the computer to see if there was a refresh fail, but no. Nothing added. Looked in the complete, incomplete and specific uTorrent torrent folder that I have - nothing in there.

I think that the programmers are doing a fine work with uTorrent, but It could be important for them to 'fix' the program so It can add as many torrents as selected properly and also for uTorrent to be able to check and add torrents from sub folders.

Waiting with eager for an answer.
