| formatting hard drive, utorrent woes
Im about to format my hard drive and install windows 7.
problem is, i have over 1000 torrents seeding in utorrent.
i dont want to manually re-download each torrent and re-create the seeding links for 1000 torrents.
this is a major long shot asking here, but is there any script i can save or batch file i can run for these relationships to stay intact? redoing all those links will take hours.
i have a feeling im hooped.

by re-doing do u mean d/l the torrents again?
i think utorrent saves a copy of the torrent that's in the program window @ Documents and Settings\[User]\Application Data\uTorrent

you're right, they are there. but i'll still have to point them to the file location for each torrent, which will still take hours! a step in the right direction though!

Wow nice find. Wish I had bothered to look into this before reformatting last week. Basically did it the long way (though I don't think I have as many as you)

^limited to 8 torrents up at a time
almost all from waffles.fm
most of the time even with 1100 torrents seeding, i rarely hit 8 concurrent uploads.

regular shaw line.
you kinda need to do that sort of thing to get good ratios at some private sites.
i have it scheduled so it goes full speed when im asleep and at work, and is throttled when im off work.
initially i did it so i could quickly hit poweruser status (25GB up) on waffles

If you're going Windows 7 make sure all of your drivers are up to date. I kept getting BSODs as a result of a conflict between uTorrent and Win7

I only have 5 that I keep, and they're all like 40-100gig HD movie packs or just plain movie packs, those keep a steady 100kb up when i turn them on, always got like like 4x more leechers than seeders.

utorrent is great that way.
you can seed over a thousand torrents, have 8 concurrent uploads, and it still takes up next to no resources and never crashes.
yeah your strategy works for huge files but on a music site where files range from 10MB to 300MB you need to work a little harder. 300,000 torrents on waffles.
and i am on windows 7 32bit ultimate (RTM) right now, upgrading to windows 7 64bit pro. never had a bsod yet *knocks on wood*

I apparently had an outdated network driver. I BSOD'd after a recent uTorrent update and got the message bad_caller_pool.
I'm all good now tho.

Seeding that shiet when a person will download it in like 2 mins doesn't get you much of an upload so I hear ya. Still you crazy dogg.
