'Finalizing' seeding...

[belwig]

Sorry if this has been answered already...

I like to DL torrents to a 'DMZ' location (for security's sake), so I do the following:

1. DL the torrent to my DMZ directory

2. Using the 'Store .torrent files in' feature of µTorrent, the .torrent is immediatly moved to a new location automatically.

3. The actual download remains in the DMZ directory I configued with the 'Put new downloads in' feature

Once the DL is complete:

1. The torrent file is moved to yet another directory using the 'Move .torrents for finished jobs to' feature

So far so good. Now I look the file over and decide if I want to move it to a permanent seed location outside this DMZ. I don't want this to happen automatically.

What's the best way to do this? Preferrably one that perserves the ratio and history?

I tried removing the the torrent from the list, moving the files (or directory), and then reloading the torrent, but it just starts downloading again. I tried removing and loading with 'load torrents as stopped' set on, and then chaging the 'set download location' and re-checking. This works but I lose the history (not the mention a new .torrent file is created).

It would be nice if the 'set download location' option changed to 'set seed location' once it was completed. Am I missing something?

Stop the torrent, move the files, then just use Set download location to point it to the new location. You don't need to remove the torrent at all.

But Set download location is greyed out after download is completed. How do I override it?

By stopping the torrent.

How silly. Thanks!
