Add torrent file for already downloaded data

Post by endy123 »

Dear forum,
i have recently moved my transmission installation from router to other server.
While moving, I moved also USB drive attached where the files were being downloaded using transmission.

I was unable to move transmission "as-is", meaning I had to re-add all .torrent files.
After adding of already downloaded file, I set location of downloaded files to location on my usb drive and clicked Verify Local Data.
I expect that after this, my torrent files will be again added to seed.

The problem is, that with bigger files (50GB+) the checking process takes soo much time (it seems 24 hours for 67GB torrent).
Is it possible to add torrent file of already downloaded collection and then start seeding without need of verify local data?

Thanks in advance!
