Loading torrents in µTorrent
=====================
Loading a single torrent for seeding is simple enough provided you know the location of the .torrent and the files.
1.In µTorrent, click File > Add Torrent (no default save)
2.Browse your way to the .torrent file you wish to seed and select.
3.Browse your way to the folder where the files are located and select the folder.
The torrent should appear in the torrent window and load (you will see the % climb up as µTorrent checks the file).
Loading multiple torrents stored in a single folder.
====================================
Let's say in your previous client you had setup a "completed torrents" folders and you wish to reload all the torrents from this location into µTorrent.
Create a folder called AUTOLOAD on your desktop
Create a folder called TORRENTS somewhere where you wish your finished torrents to be relocated (for example c:\My Documents\My Torrents\).
Go to Options > Preferences > Downloads : location of downloaded files: check "Put new downloads in:" and point the path to the folder you were using to save your completed torrents in with your previous client.
Go to Options > Preferences > Others. Under Storage for torrent files: Check "Move .torrents for finished jobs to: " and point the path to the TORRENTS folder (never mind the "Save the .torrent files" option for now).
Under Auto-load Torrents, check "Automatically load torrents in directory" and point the path to the AUTOLOAD folder on your desktop.
Find the .torrent for the files you wish to load (which match the files in your completed folder), and move them (not copy) to the AUTOLOAD folder on your desktop.
µTorrent automatically loads the .torrents from the AUTOLOAD folder into the torrent list. µTorrent will find that the matching files are already in the download folder and will check them to make sure they are complete.
Note: this procedure is also valid for partially downloaded files.
