SparkPlugBolt Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 Hi, I am on Windows 7 32 Bit now. And I will be performing a clean reinstallation of Windows, including formatting hard drive. So I need to backup my currently downloading torrents to a USB and then resume it after reinstallation.Now, I know where my content files are, and I can transfer them to a USB Flash Drive. But from the utorrent menu, I cannot find out where my torrent file is. Without the torrent file, I cannot resume my torrents. Does anyone has a fix for this?

SparkPlugBolt Posted October 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 Well, I read the article before posting here. The article only describes how to migrate content of torrents, assuming that you know the location of the torrent file itself. The problem I am facing is that, I know the contents directory, but I dont know where the specific .torrent file is located. Any ideas, on how to find out where the .torrent file is?

jsillup Posted October 27, 2012 Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 Search your disk(s) for *.torrent files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparkPlugBolt Posted October 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 Tried. Couldnt find the file I was looking for. The file name might be different from the content. So there is no chance of finding using a search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciaobaby Posted October 27, 2012 Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 Preferences -> Directories.If there is nothing in the fields they are in the default location of %AppData%\uTorrent (type it into the Run... dialog). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsillup Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 @SparkPlugBolt, what I told you will find all files of type ".torrent". If you are looking for torrents that you see in uTorrent's torrent job list, you cannot find them because they are contained in file "resume.dat" which is normally in the default location referenced by ciaobaby. Resume.dat, along with settings.dat, need to be backed up and restored for your new installation to be able to have a chance to resume, although BEncode editing might be required.
