Procedure Instruction Request

[Painiac]

Greetings and salutations everyone. This may not be the appropriate forum for this question as its not a bug or technical problem, as it is a request for instruction. When I download a torrent file, load it, download the associated data, I keep both for the purposes of seeding. My question is, if I say, format an d re-install windows and utorrent, how do I load the previous torrent files without downloading the data again? I'd like to continue seeding information I still have for links that are still around after much time. I'm sure I just have to point uTorrent in the right direction, Ive tried setting the destinations for the torrents, torrent data, etc. in uTorrents settings, but it doesn't seem to affect it. I assumed it would be easy, and I read the native help information, as well as the online documentation, and im even sure its somewhere in these forums and I looked, but sometimes reasonable solutions starting me in the face will continually avoid me like a ninja.:mad:

Thank you in advance for all your help, im sure the answer will be infuriatingly easy and obvious once it is presented to me.

.... I'm just hoping I dont get a "YEAH! ITS THE BIG RED BUTTON ON THE MAIN MENU D-BAG!"

Ah, I never made the association that importing torrents from a previous program would be correlative to loading torrents in general. See, I miss obvious things! However, this is the method I went about on my own, and previous attempts still went straight to downloading the content again, the first time I got up for a few minutes and managed to lower my ratio quite a bit in a short time. This time, after checking, some will go straight to seeding, but still some go to downloading it again, despite the 100% clear checking. Any idea what could make it selective? Would re-downloading the torrent file and using that one maybe fix the problem? It seems kinda weird to me.

Again, thank you in advance, and thank you for such a timely response. Props for helping someone like myself with lapses of ignorance.

Edit: even doing them one at a time manually, these specific ones wont pick up the downloaded data, while some do. What would cause this, and how would I remedy it?

Thank You.
