Transfer downloads from old computer

[justin6969]

My old computer is about to die, can I tranfer my downalods from my old computer to my new computer including the unfinished ones and contniue downlaoding them. If i can, how do I do this?

Yes, you can. Copy the downloaded files and the torrents (usually in bitcomet\torrents). Add the torrents on your new computer and direct the place to download the files to where your old data is. This will resume your downloads.

Copy the incomplete .torrent files to the new computer's torrent directory.

Copy the incomplete dowloaded files to the new computer's download directory.

For each incomplete torrent, do

-Load each incomplete torrent into BitComet

-With the torrent stopped, do a manual hash check. (Will take a while)

-The torrent should show the same progress %, so start it and it will pick up where it left off

enddo

If the hash check reports 0% but you have more than that, you have the download location wrong. Either move the incomplete file to the correct location, fix the default download dirctory, or change the individual torrent's download location to point to the correct place.

If you add the incomplete torrent files and direct them to a source where you've previously downloaded some of the torrent, it will automatically hash check. If you get wrong % or 0%, then it might also be that you have an incorrect torrent file (ie, contains other contents than you've downloaded.)

It should work like that, but I've seen it behave erratically in the past, so the manual check makes sure you're pointing to the right directory and it actually contains what you think it does. (I always thought of this as a bug plus a design flaw)
