I have some incomplete torrents as shown in image.
I have to reinstall windows.(Infact i am upgrading from Windows7 to Windows8.1)
Is there any way so that i can resume these torrents on fresh install. Because torrent is slow and i cant w8 for them to complete.

Only if you have a backup of the config directory.
BTW Windows 8.1 doesn't play nice with Transmission-Qt for Windows. Plus there is no support for any Windows version here, each Windows distribution has its own support.

Re: Resuming Incomplete torrents on a different PC
Depends on what you mean by "resume".
If you just want to not start from scratch then the only thing you need to do is to point to the same place the already downloaded parts are in when adding it to Transmission, it should pick up the existing data and continue from there. This doesn't preserve any statistics (like upload/download amount, ratio, added on and such), what torrents are actually loaded or other settings, you'll need to find the original torrent files (or magnet links) to be able to add them again.

Copy and restore with new ownership the config directory, which in Windows 7, since you are using my Transmission-Qt (from SourceForge) is:SalmanQamar wrote:How i can take the backup of config directory?

Code: Select all
/Users/<user name>/AppData/Roaming/transmission/
