Moving completed torrent location with uTorrent?

    I've just moved a lot of my files to a networked hard-drive and want to delete them completely from my laptop's main drive... only problem being a lot of them are being seeded in uTorrent and I'd like to keep them there for now.

    I know I can tell uTorrent to move files to a new location once it's finished downloading (so I can download it to C: and have it seeded on Y: once it's done) but I can't figure out a way of telling it to do the same for torrents that are already completed.

    Will I just need to manually make new torrents for each of the ones listed or can I tell them all to look for the same files on the new drive as opposed to the old one?

    Thanks for any advice.

    Set your preferred location of the files as the default save directory in uTorrent . Clear these files from the list in uTorrent main page . Restart the torrents - the .torrent files would usually be in Docs and Settings/*username*/Application Data/uTorrent . uTorrent will check the files and begin seeding .
    Application Data folder isn't visible unless you have selected Show Hidden Files and Folders , btw .

    i think if ya go to preferences and then directories, there is an option for torrent location
    that should do it

    That seems to have worked a treat - computer seems slow enough checking the files but it's doing it and looking in the preferred drive.

    Thanks.
