Migrating torrents to uTorrent

[loninappleton]

I have a folder with all my files and torrents from a previous client (Azureus/Vuze). The total is about 40 content and 40 torrent files.

On my new computer setup:

System under discussion

MSI 880GM-E41 mainboard

Kingston DDR3 Hyperx/fb 2x2Gb

Maxtor 100G HD

Logisys 480w Power supply

corded mouse

corded keyboard

using onboard video by ATI

I have downloaded utorrent.

Then I tried to get one torrent file into the queue.

The torrent seems to be downloading from my other host machine-- the equivalent of going out on the net and slowly rebuilding the download to seed.

What am I missing in order for utorrent to use the folder utoorrent downloads (which contains torrents and content) to quickly be installed in the window?

I have looked at the migrating section and the sample above shows my result.

How can the default folder be recognized right away?

Is there a way to get all the torrents in the window and then use Torrent Editor to set up the right pointer to the utorrentdownload folder?

How can I close the featured content advertising window?

While awaiting answer I will look at the beginners guide and send files section.

I reviewed a previous thread I made back a couple years ago (!) in 2008. This time it's for real. I am getting the hang of adding the torrents given under the FAQ/migrate procedure.

But from above I was not doing it correctly. When adding a torrent from the right path (mine are all in utorrentdownloads) the checker will perform and and count up to 100%.

I am still interested in any help or pointers for use of Torrent Editor on this new build.

Meanwhile I am completing the add process.

I haven't gotten the left window closed yet. (Or maybe it doesn't?)

I have a similar question ... I have a lot of torrents that had to be moved to another location after completion and seeeding. They continue to show up in the listing but marked as errored. I would like to just edit the location/path, but don't know how that could be done. The only other way is to remove and reload the torrent and specify the completed filename in its new path-location....let the check finish the process.

Normally that would be straight forward if not tedious for a hundred torrents, but I have changed folder names and file names (when there was no folder), from the default to remove extraneous characters and info when loading the torrent. So I have to copy and paste each new location path/name when reloading.

Secondly i would like to know some migration techniques between torrent apps and I have even had troubles picking up the database when changing versions.

I now have 1500 torrents that need to be relocated and it raises the proposition that I just not bother reloading them, and only select a favored few for continued seeding. Also, removing-reloading a torrent loses the ratio data which in some cases, very large torrents, is helpful to know.

Note ... I have seen comments that people throw away the torrent file after the download is complete.

I always save all the DONE copies as well as the sorted by subject collection when I originally download and save them. How else might you go back and re-do one if something goes awry, or email the torrent to someone interested in the material. In fact you should download and save a torrent at first interest, because the torrents themselves have a tendency to disappear suddenly when a site goes down. Once you have the torrent you essentially have the means to get the content.
