I will be building a new pc with a bigger hard drive.
How can I transfer and restart the incomplete torrents to the new drive?
Will I need the .torrent files and the incomplete .mp4, etc files both?
Or just need the incomplete torrent and do a "force recheck" will start the torrent again?
Or will I have to open the .torrent file again to get them to start?
Thanks

Re: Transferring incomplete torrents to new pc/hard drive
- Install qBittorrent on new PC
- Set up folder(s)
- Move all the data over (incomplete, complete)
- Add ALL the torrents, let it auto-check
If it adds stuff at 0%, you messed up the folders/path most likely.

Will try that when I finally build my new pc.
I need to have the .torrent files in the directory as well?

Nope, the .torrents, you just open with qBittorrent and it'll load them up.

I have been having the .torrent files in the Downloads folder. And just opening them from there.

Yeah, that's pretty much all you need to do. Just make sure the Download folder is set up in qBittorrent, and the data is "properly" there.
You can verify by just adding like one torrent, and in the file add dialog you can kinda eyeball the path.
If it starts downloading? You messed up, time to double-check, shuffle folders around, try fixing it.
Starts downloading again? You messed up again.
