ITPalg Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 :mad:I have been installing apps to my apps partition for years. I have had Utorrent installed there for a while.Every time there was an update and I let it do its thing, it would simply update.For the last two recent update notices I let it do its thing, it completely wiped my record of downloaded/stored torrents, and then it installed this last time today to the freakin wrong drive/partition, the no man's land C drive! Running this version now shows a completely blank record of my downloads, even checking the "Directories" section that still shows the same settings I had previously, and restarting Utorrent does not fix it.There is no "advanced" or other option I saw running the installer twice for where to put the program.FU Utorrent.

Andreasvb Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 Even if you run it portable it will install to %AppData%\uTorrent with its own settings.You need to replace utorrent.exe manually where you previously had it, all settings retained, nothing is lost.

ITPalg Posted July 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 Ok so there is going to be yet another update that fixes at least not letting you put it where you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ITPalg Posted July 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 I did drag and drop the entire Utorrent folder from the appdata folder to my apps partition but it didn't populate all the downloads I already had.Shame on you Utorrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreasvb Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 There are two ways to install it.Regular: utorrent.exe can be placed anywhere, always reads from %AppData%\uTorrentPortable: utorrent.exe and settings.dat in the same folder.Then it also depends where/if you've choosed to store your .torrents (Preferences > Directories).
