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!

booya, found it!

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)

Your seeding 1000 torrents? lol damn

wont your HDD crap out pretty fast if you're uploading so much?

^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.

why do you have over 1000 torrents seeding may i ask? do you have some sorta crazy 100Mbit upload line?

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

Waffles a side I do no where close to that kind of thing to keep a good ratio on private sites. In addition I'm not using anything special just Telus 6.0 and I have a 3-7 ratio on my private sites. Damn you crazy dog.

yeah i am kind of a nut

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

really? i've started to install win7 on clients and none have problems with utorrent

tried it on 3 of my machines so far. win7 pro + ut 1.8.4

weird hardware + drivers problem?

one THOUSAND? just to get good ratios holy shit...

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.

the first thing that happened to me with 64bit pro when i booted it up was blue screen. LOL

Fair enough, I mean a cd is like what 70 mb? 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.
