qBittorrent official forums

Hi,

I've reinstalled qbittorrent recently & I'm trying to reseed the torrent files to avoid knackering my ratios on torrent sites but I can't find the torrent files anywhere. I've looked through some of the threads on here & am being told that they are here: C:/Users/YOUR_USER/AppData/Local/qBittorrent/BT_backup but

a) my user file doesn't have an AppData folder
b) the only AppData folder on the system doesn't have the sub folders
c) Running a system search for BT_backup produces no results

Can anyone help?!!? 

Thanks 

What OS are you running?
Have you already uninstalled qbittorrent? If yes, did you check "remove configuration files" too?

AppData folder is usually has a hidden attribute. On XP the path may look different, something like C:\Documents And Settings\USERNAME\Local Settings\Application Data

For reference: see "Application Data" and "Local Application Data" at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_f ... irectories

I'm running Windows 7, Home Premium.

Not uninstalled yet, I wanted to make sure I could get at the torrent files first.

Have checked for a roaming file as per the wiki entry but nothing there.

On WinXP, .torrent files are saved here:
C:\Documents and Settings\*****\Local Settings\Application Data\qBittorrent\BT_backup
The files are only stored temporarily though, so they get deleted when they're removed from your transfer window.
..Also, the file names in the BT_backup folder are encrypted, so it's hard to tell what's what in there.

If you really want to save your .torrent files, you should specify it here:
Tools > Options > Downloads > Hard Disk > Copy .torrent files to

They're not encrypted. They're named after torrent hash.

P.S. You can also try pasting directly into address bar

That link did it. Found them.

Thanks, people.

Oh, never noticed that.
I save my files manually.
