Re-Downloading All Files?

Post by CalKersten »

Transmission has, at times, decided to not open, so I've had to force quit the application multiple times and eventually, download and reinstall the application.
This has always worked for me before, but for some reason this time, despite my external hard drive where I store all of my downloads being attached, it decided to start to redownload all of my torrents. I'm talking roughly 750 torrents, and to my desktop at that.
I stopped the downloads and currently do not have anything seeding or downloading, since I don't want to overwhelm my desktop.
Is there anyway to redirect a request so that Transmission recognizes that I have all these files already downloaded, except for a small handful?
