Can I keep downloading a torrent after new OS fresh install?

[tmg]

I'm currently using uTorrent 2.0.4 on Windows 7. I have a large download in progress, at about 40% or so, but I need to format my PC and install Windows 10. Is it possible to restart the torrent at the same percentage on my new OS install, without having to download it from scratch again?

Yes of course. You just need to make a backup of your uTorrent data folder, and restore it after PC reinstall.

As long as you get the initial .torrent file and the partially downloaded file, you will be fine. Put everything back to its place and you're good to resume.
