Migrate Torrent Jobs to Another PC

It's a tutorial about how you can move your uncompleted torrent job into another computer. Or you may need to format system and reinstall it but don't want to lost some downloaded data. Then here is a trick for you. Note that this trick is for Vuze users, future articles will be for bittorrent or uTorrent users.

• Pre-conditions: Azureus (Vuze) will resume BitTorrent partials however they started, as long as:

1. the downloaded data ("partials") are present on your hard disk drive (HDD) and
2. you have the original .torrent file.

---

• Process:

1. Make sure you have the exact .torrent file of what you were downloading.
2. Make sure you know the exact location of the partials on your HDD.
3. Open the .torrent in Azureus (Vuze) via (this is very important) File ->> Open ->> .Torrent File (No Default Save)
4. When asked where to save the file, point it to your partials. (See below image.)

   If the file has already been completely downloaded, you can change the "Add mode" to "Seeding", so that Azureus knows that you think that the file should be complete.

5. Wait. It will take a few minutes to check the data.

• IMPORTANT NOTE: Azureus (Vuze) will tell you if a file with the same name already exists and will ask for your permission to check the file content's correctness. If the data in the already existing file is wrong, then it will get overwritten. So, if you try to use a different .torrent file, it is possible that you would erase the partial data you had downloaded.

Enjoy...!!!
