Where does uTorrent store its settings?

[Zinedin]

Hi there!

Does anyone know where uTorrent is storing the settings? I ask because I had version 2.2.1 installed but I had to reinstall Windows Vista 64-bit. Now I would like to restore my old uTorrent settings. Is this possible? I do have a recent backup of my old system partition. I am using version 3.0 right now, will the old 2.2.1 version settings be compatible with version 3.0? I did notice that version 3.0 have received some major changes.

Thank you in advance!

%AppData%\uTorrent. Just paste this path into Explorer.

2.2.1 settings are fully compatible with 3.0, though you may need to right click on the column header and hit 'reset'.

Thank you!

In the mean time I have found the answer to this same question on the FAQ. I should have read the FAQ before posting, I know. I just felt like I needed a quick answer and I wasn't expecting to find it there.

Thanks for your input though regarding 2.2.1 and 3.0 compatibility. I have a small question though, can you define "column header"? Where is this?

While we are still talking about this subject. I have already installed 3.0 and I do have a copy of my old uTorrent folder since I have a backup of the whole partition. These are the contents.

apps
dlimagecache
apps.btapp
dht.dat
dht.dat.old
resume.dat
resume.dat.old
rss.dat
rss.dat.old
settings.dat
settings.dat.old
Toolbar.bmp
utorrent.chm
utorrent.lng
utorrent-204-22150.chm
utorrent-help.zip

Do you see any irregularities here? Can I just merge all of this to the new uTorrent folder, or is there anything I should remove first? Like, for instance, maybe the Toolbar.bmp file is unnecessary? I noticed that there is a theme selector now in 3.0.

I copied only resume.dat, resume.dat.old and settings.dat, settings.dat.old. My settings are back now, and my old torrents are back.

However, I had already downloaded some new torrents with 3.0 version. These are now gone since the old resume.dat replaced the new resume.dat file. I saw no way of merging these two. But I didn't have many new torrents in it so it's no big deal, I can add these to the current resume.dat file.

The Toolbar.bmp file is compatible with 3.0 except for the buttons 'µTorrent Remote' and 'Send' buttons which are new to version 3.0.

I understand now what you meant by "column header". Sorry! I didn't notice it first because I didn't expect it, but the columns in the main window do seem to have been re-arranged, but I do not have all of them active as I had before.

Thanks!
