Running out of space, I added a partition, shut down ktorrent, moved all my down-/uploaded files to that new partition, restarted ktorrent; of course, it didn't find the files and asked if I wanted to download them again, I didn't, then I changed the default location in the settings, but still, everything would be 'stalled'.
Just to check my settings, I added a torrent, and it downloads okay; into that new partition/location, where all the other torrent files are, as well. So ktorrent seems to 'know' and use the new location, containing all the files. But all those earlier files show 'stalled' and no activity at all.

In a nutshell: How can I make them visible to ktorrent and the Internet again?

Uwe
I use 3.2.4

In the future do this:

Right click on torrent -> Move Data

In the present:

If you start a torrent and ktorrent cannot find it's files it will ask you want you want to do. One of those options is to select the new location.

Alas, it doesn't.
It starts, and keeps sitting on 'stalled' without any upload. I guess, it is because it *is* the correct location: I moved all files into the new location. (Please, read my OP: I stopped ktorrent, moved all files, restarted it, and set the new location in Configure->Application->Default save location; started ktorrent.

This works like expected here.

Default save locations, only are used when opening a torrent, it does not change anything for already loaded torrents.

To check if you are using the correct files do this:

Right click on torrent -> open directory -> data directory

That will open the data directory for the selected torrent.

Does. Right, they are still sitting on the former directory and show as errors, logically. How can I change that?

Uwe

If they have been recreated on the old location, you can just delete them, then start the torrents, and you will get a dialog asking you what to do, in that dialog click on "Select New Location"

My mistake; my formulation was ambiguous. "they are still sitting on the former directory" was supposed to mean 'according to what ktorrent thinks'; they are not sitting "in" the former directory. They are in the new directory; together with the newly activated torrents. Only ktorrent still seems to 'expect' them in the former location ("Data Directory").
How can I tell ktorrent to about the change of the data directory? 'Stop'->'Start' goes through without any pop.up. They have been deleted, there is no dialogue. There was one, once, and I probably clicked the wrong choice; something along the lines of 'do not download again'. How can I get the dialogue again?

Uwe

If you selected do not download, then reselect all the files, stop the torrent, delete all the files and restart it. Then you will get the dialog again.

I selected all the files (In ktorrent), stopped the torrent, but there was no offer to delete the files.
(And if I actually did, they would be GONE; and I do NOT want to download all of them again!)

In a nutshell: still no success to make ktorrent 'see' the files in the actual directory. What could I do, please!?

Uwe

Okay, tried nevertheless: STOP one torrent, delete all files, restart; but nothing pops up.
