compactdisc Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 I am setting up an old PC for seeding, the issues is I am trying to move torrents into uTorrent and have them seed only, the problem is I can't seem to do that without having them download as well. I've tried the following method-add torrent-uncheck the 'start torrent' box in the pop up window-right click on torrent - advanced - change download location-set download location to the completely downloaded folder of the torrent-force re-check-start torrentAfter I have done this it just begins downloading the torrent again (which I don't want to do). What am I missing as far as setting the torrents up only to seed? Thanks in advanced! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 -set download location to the completely downloaded folder of the torrent-force re-checkWhen this procedure doesn't yield the seeding state you're after, you are basically pointing uTorrent at the incorrect folder layer for it to be able to detect the files.

Damien74 Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 It sounds like you want to seed but you don't actually have the files on the old computor.You can't seed without having the files. Perhaps you have the files on another computor but for some reason wan't to seed them through your old comp? If so, I'm not sure how you think that will help in any way, to seed is to share, you still have to have the files sent from the new computor.In short, you can't seed if you don't have the files somewhere.

compactdisc Posted September 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 Sorry if that wasn't clear. Yes, I have moved all of the files, just as they were originally downloaded to my PC from which they (hopefully) will be seeding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
