Changing location of torrent files download
All the files that I dl are in a folder in my C drive and I want to bring that folder to my D drive which is 2x the capacity of my C. At the moment I have to keep removing the dl files to D drive because my C drive get full. This make seeding a pain.
How do I do this safely? I don't want to screw up my seeding.
I am using Utorrent as client

That is what I am doing now, What a pain in the a$$. 30gig of most music album. I am taking my tine to do it. Luck was on my side cos I only have 2 uncompleted torrent when I change over. That were the first 2 that I re download. I hope to be back fully seeding before long. Thanks for the help.
Ps I now keep all the torrent files and not just trash them.
Re: Changing location of torrent files download
You don't need to redownload the torrents from drive C, just move them to your D drive to where you told your utorrent to download to
Re: Changing location of torrent files download
This is how I do it:
1.Right click on the torrent, click stop
2. Right click on the torrent again, ->Advanced->Set Download Location
3. Right click on the torrent again, -> Force Recheck
4. Right click and click start.
You may have to restart utorrent again.
