Azureus: downloads.config modification

Hi all.
I'm running Azureus, but due to playing around with Spanned Drives, I need to move the location of some of the files.
The files themselves have already been copied to the new location, but I need to delete them from their old location, however Azureus is still seeding from this old location.

The files are being moved from \ to E:\OS\Linux\, for example. Everything that was ever on \ is now in this folder.

It's not a possibility for me to manually change the location in the Azureus GUI, due to the numbers that would have to be changed.

So, I did a bit of snooping, and found a file downloads.config (in the Application Data folder), which happens to have the locations for the .torrent files, and the location of the files themselves. So I shut down azureus, made a backup of the file, and did a search and replace on it so everything from "D:\" would be "E:\OS\Linux\". Saved, restarted, but Azurues doesn't like it at all. It rebuilds the file, excluding anything that i've tried to change.

Does anyone know if it's even possible to do it this way, or if there is another way? I'd litreally be spending hours changing the locations of everything.

Thanks,
snappieT
