Hey,

I want to re-install my OS including formatting /home and but I don't want to lose a torrent I'm currently uploading. I'm the only 100% seeder and the torrent is uploading very slowly so I don't want to have to force people to leech from the start again. I don't have the original .torrent that I created initially. Is it possible to move the torrent to my external HD and then move it back when I've reinstalled Kubuntu? When I've previously tried adding torrents that I'd created, they tried to download the torrent rather than seed them but I only briefly attempted to sort it out as it was as easy for me to create a new torrent Thanks.

Backup the directory ~/.kde/share/apps/ktorrent

After the reinstall, make sure the data is in the same place, and restore the above directory, and ktorrent will just continue seeding.

Worked perfectly, thanks a lot!

I am trying to find the files I need to restore downloads that were running before installing a new OS.

I am using K/Ubuntu (AMD64) and recently migrated from hardy to jaunty. This was a clean install with a new /sys and the 'hardy' .kde tree was saved, but when I started ktorrent in jaunty, the downloads running in hardy were not found.

I have found logs at /home/hardy/.kde/share/apps/ktorrent and tried to copy them into the /jaunty/ folder, but the open log becomes a .gz file and gets ignored when I restart ktorrent.

I never had this problem when rebooting the same OS. Can someone please tell me what files I need to get ktorrent to reload a previous incomplete session?

Thanks!
