I am about to reformat my computer, but have torrents in the middle of downloading and can’t wait until they are finished, so this little trick is a godsend.
Navigate to
C:\Users\Brendo\AppData\Roaming\uTorrent
and back up the entire directory. (In Vista, not sure of the exact directory in XP)
Then navigate to your downloads folder
C:\Users\Brendo\Downloads
in my case, and back that up too.
Once you have reformatted/moved and installed uTorrent, simply drag those two directories over the top of what is already there and voila! your torrents are back how they were.
Now to finish setting up this computer to puuuurrrr…
