uTorrent/AppData question

[mrwheels]

I am going to reformat my computer.
If I back up C>User>Tron>AppData>Roaming>uTorrent... Do I have to have to reconfigure the Settings?
Will it keep my upload/ratio stats and labels? Will I have to re-add the Torrents?

Great question, I would also like to know as well, since hash checking takes forever on large files.

*AppData\Roaming\uTorrent* contains torrent history and settings, and by default the .torrent files. If you save the entire folder C:\User\Owner\AppData\Roaming\uTorrent (and the folders set in Preferences > Directories if files are on same drive you are formatting) on a backup drive and you restore them to the exact directory after format - torrent info, ratios etc. will restore.

[MENTION=191075]Jynksie[/MENTION] is right. However, you will have to reconfigure the torrent client's settings after you delete said folders. They contain the settings.dat and settings.dat.old files of the application, which store all the custom choices you made.

What if I back up the uTorrent program files also, then put them both back where I found them?

@mrwheels - You mean like, the whole thing? It might work. But, basically if you keep the settings.dat and settings.dat.old files in place, you won't have to worry about re-configuring. I'm talking about the settings of μTorrent itself.

What do you mean "the settings of μTorrent itself"? If I have "settings.dat and settings.dat.old" shouldnt that put all the setting in the uTorrent preferences back the way I had it?

Precisely, that's what I meant.

It does work but there's two issues that didn't occur before.
1. uTorrent won't allow my computer shut down for more than a couple seconds without restarting again immediately. I have it set to start automatically when windows starts up.
2. This box appears every time the computer starts up no matter the fire wall setting.



PS. I had a BitTorrennt roaming folder that I also backed up (not sure why I had that, lol)

EDIT:
Now it's working???? I've got no clue what's going on!!! lol

It's OK. You cleared the settings and now it's acting up. I always get that, nothing to worry about. It fixes itself.
