XtoroBT02 Posted April 30, 2013 Report Posted April 30, 2013 I had a hard drive problem and had to reinstall uTorrent on another drive with different paths from the original set up. I used the migration guide but when I go to set the download location it states "file exists do I want to overwrite?". I just want to establish a new drive for seeding or finishing the download and not download it again. I have 500 GBs to redirect so any help is appreciated. Thanks

XtoroBT02 Posted April 30, 2013 Author Report Posted April 30, 2013 Thanks for the information. I read it, but it doesn't solve my problem. When I answer yes on the over write question, it proceeds to not check the file but to re-download and overwrite the file. I've tried this several times. I've also answered no, done a force check and start, and it comes back that the drive is not available. I, like one of the individuals who asked about this had done this before on a previous version and it worked fine - completed downloads were seeded and incomplete downloads started up again - no files overwritten.
ciaobaby Posted April 30, 2013 Report Posted April 30, 2013 Point uTorrent to the parent directory NOT the directory where the files are.
XtoroBT02 Posted April 30, 2013 Author Report Posted April 30, 2013 If you mean to the drive letter and not the actual file folder for the downloaded file, that's what I've been doing. Thanks
jsillup Posted May 1, 2013 Report Posted May 1, 2013 This works for me using uTorrent 3.3.1 Beta build 29579:Original torrent file: C:\MyDownloads\TorrentNameFolder\file(s)With torrent job stopped, manually move TorrentNameFolder to D:\Videos\TorrentNameFolder\file(s)Right click torrent job and set download location to D:\Videos then answer Yes to overwrite warning.Right click torrent job and force recheck.
