Thread: How do I switch my seeding client?

I wasn't really too sure what to name the title so it might not make sense :P, but anyway here is my problem.. I downloaded a couple games from a tracker which didnt support my version of utorrent so I downloaded they're whitelisted version of Vuze. Now that I have downgraded my utorrent how would I go about switching it so that I can seed from utorrent instead of vuze, because I really cannot stand Vuze. I tried everything that 'I' could think of so that's why I'm here, any help would be appreciated! :)

u must use the cross seeding technique How to Cross-Seed safely
so in short
place the downloaded games files as it is in one folder name it ABC
open .torrent files(the torrent files of the games u downloaded) from location C:\Documents and Settings\a\Application Data\Azureus\torrents with utorrent (untick the option START TORRENT when opening in utorrent)
set download location to folder ABC in utorrent
then right click on each torrent in utorrent n click option FORCE RECHECK
u l see that it will complete to 100 % then start the torrent it will automatically start seeding
if by some chance FOCRCE RECHECK doesnt work make sure to make folder names similar to torrent names

if u still got problem post here i'l post screenshot tut then

You're a bit sparse with details. Since you didn't mention what client version or OS you have, or precisely what you intend to so.. some of the details here may be off a bit. But I assume that you intend to seed at at a different tracker. This is referred to as cross seeding. You can't use your utorrent version to seed back to the tracker that you downloaded from as you said that it is disallowed there.

So start off by reading how to cross seed safely. In short, you want to find the *.torrent file that vuze made on your computer. Then load it into utorrent. There are several ways to do this.. you can open a torrent, "with no default" save or simply add or click on the torrent file, ensuring that you choose the same directory that the actual item resides in. If you choose the correct directory, utorrent should simply verify the files, rather than try to download them again.

In particular, do not modify or add to the URL announcements. This would be regarded as cheating by most trackers. If you see a message in utorrent that says

The only correct answer is NO, NO, NO. Answering yes would combine the announce URLs. If you see this message, it usually means that utorrent already has this torrent loaded and thinks that you are trying to load a duplicate torrent.

Actually, I think he simply wants to move his torrents to a different client. that's pretty simple, stop and remove the torrents from vuze, add the torrents to utorrent making sure u select the directory they are in. force recheck, and if it checks to 100% start them and they'll seed. You could also move them from vuze's default download directory to utorrent's default download directory, before adding them to utorrent, then just add them to utorrent and it will automatically recheck them and start seeding.

If so, that would be unwise given the context he painted. The reason that the OP used vuze to d/l was because the tracker blacklisted the version of utorrent that he wants to use. So he switched to vuze and used that to d/l. If he goes back to the blacklisted client and seeds back to the same tracker with it.. he is just asking to be banned. That is why I presumed that his intent was to cross seed to a different tracker.

According to the OP, he downgraded utorrent back to a whitelisted version, so he should be fine...

You may be right. I find the OP (post) ambiguous. So hard when we barely have enough information to run with.
