tyciol Posted December 3, 2011 Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 Basically because of having installed a lot of games and stuff, I'm falling short on room in my main C drive, and I would like to have files I'm torrenting stored on my other drive which has more space.The main problem is that since I have partially completed torrents at C:/Downloads right now, I don't know how to do this without messing everything up. I want uT to recognize these partials, as opposed to creating new ones.Is there a guide on a way to make this change without screwing everything up? I wanted to check if it's okay before trying it.I was thinking, if I stopped all the torrents (but not deleted) and then closed the program, moved the Downloads folder to my other drive, reopened uTorrent and changed the designation to the new directory... would that fix it? Would the program detect and resume the partials? Or am I underthinking it and it'd still mess up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted December 3, 2011 Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 Settings in preferences - directories are not retroactive to already loaded torrents. You need to individually tell uTorrent that you've moved the files using the "Set download location" function. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyciol Posted January 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 What I will do is wait for all to complete and for it to be empty and then I will redesignate it I guess.It will be a good way to check for any leftover pieces in the directory.

wizard Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Are you sayig that if I set a different destination directory for a single file, then change back to the original directory for later files, only the single file will be in the different directory?

Andreasvb Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 You can only change it per torrent and all its files, not individually for a file in a torrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizard Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 That's what I want. The usual download directory doesn't have enough room on the disk for a large torrent, but I am seeding many torrents from the original folder.There seems to be a terminology problem here, with the word torrent being used both for the .torrent file and the normal files associated with it. Or am I wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreasvb Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 The .torrent only contains what and how files are downloaded.If you want to move everything, you stop the torrent and then move the folder where you want and then you relocate it within µTorrent on the stopped torrent by right clicking and choose Advanced > Set Download Location.Also, use common sense and choose correct folder.

ciaobaby Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 There seems to be a terminology problem here,There is some confusion yes.'torrent' really refers to the data payload'the .torrent file (and the magnet info) is the 'metadata' or metainfoand once the metadata is loaded onto the client it is refered to as a 'job'.
