I have over 200 downloads in progress but would like to move everything onto my new computer before they all finish which could take some days. Is there an easy way to do this?
With utorrent I could just install it on the new computer and transfer one folder over from the old utorrent replacing that folder on the new installation and that's it done, really simple.

If you copied qBT's settings and resume files+folders, that would only work if the path locations for the files are the same on the new computer.

Switeck thanks. Could you be a bit more specific please? Exactly what folders would I need to move and where are they located (qbit is currently installed on my C: drive and downloads are saved to a folder on my C: drive).

Paths are stored in .fastresume files, you can replace them. Here is a tool for that (was intended for Windows -> Linux, but should work for any cases)
