Today I had to help a friend of mine to install his new PC. Everything went well until the moment when he asked me to migrate uTorrent files to the new PC so he will be able to share again all (~50GB) downloaded torrents. I've googled the web but I did not found anything usable. After few experiments I finally found how to do it. Here is the description:

Short explanation: after installing uTorrent on your new PC, copy the contents of directory c:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\uTorrent where user is your username (on OLD pc) to c:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\uTorrent where user is your username (on NEW pc). Don't forget to copy downloaded files (to exactly same location as on old PC). That's it.

Step by Step explanation:

1. Install uTorrent on your new PC
2. Make sure that it is NOT started
3. Copy your downloaded files from old PC to same location on new PC. Please note location have to be exactly the same, i.e. If on old PC it was d:\torrents\ it must be again d:\torrents\ on your new PC.
4. On your OLD pc go to c:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\uTorrent where user is your username. Copy entire content of the directory to a CD/ USB stick/ or via network to your NEW PC
5. Copy previously copied files from CD/USB Stick/ network location to your NEW pc in c:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\uTorrent where user is your username on new PC. It will ask to to overwrite some files -- click "Yes to all"
6. Start uTorrent -- you will see your old torrents.
