Thread: saving utorrent stats before formatting

hi guys,
as you saw in the topic, i'll format my hard drive C, but i don't wanna lose my stats. what am i have to do?

stats?
why save the stats?

or do you mean the torrents? if it is torrents, then all you have to do is save the files somehow (either on a dvd or another HDD) and later on re-check the torrent with the file just like you do cross-seeding.

If you format and have to reinstall your torrent client, you will lose your stats.
I suppose you could google to find the registry key where your client's stats are stored, but honestly, there isn't really much point to that.
Your client's stats aren't really that important anyway. That's why you have your private trackers keep your stats for you :D
Think of this more as a "fresh start".

-save all files from this folder C:\Documents and Settings\<UR AC NAME>\Application Data\uTorrent
-format ur pc
-then install utorrent
-replace all the files in same folder by overwritting

It's path for Windows XP, if you use Vista/7, you should save this folder -> C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\uTorrent

You also need to make sure you copy all your .torrent files into the identical location you had them in the previous install, otherwise everything will just be ERROR messages in uTorrent.

That and what was previously mentioned about the uTorrent folder is all I did when I upgraded PCs and didn't want to add over 600 torrents individually to the new machine.
