Unable to import existing torrents

I am attempting to migrate some torrents from uTorrent, but things are not going well. I have qBittorrent configured to add torrents in a paused state, to pre-allocate files, and to use an incomplete folder. When I add a torrent it shows in the list as paused. I then select the newly added torrent, change the "Save Path" to where the files are located and attempt a "Force Recheck". The recheck fails every time. I did some digging and found that selecting "Open Destination Folder" will show me the pre-allocated files in my incomplete folder. It would appear that qBittorrent still thinks the files should be there instead of my destination directory. Is there anything I can do about this?
I realize that I can enable the "Display torrent contents and some options" preference, or I can use the "Import existing torrent" wizard, but both of those are meant for single torrents and are impractical for the number of torrents I need to migrate.

Tools - Options - Downloads - Save files to location -> set this folder as you set it in uTorrent (where your complete dowmloads are stored).
Are you use Windows? If yes - go to %appdata%, locate the torrent files inside the uTorrent folder there and copy this folder somewhere.
File - Add torrent file - follow the path to the copied folder with the torrent files, select them all and add them.
Then start the checking procedure.

This may sound like a stupid problem, but I have no idea where the .torrent files are located. I can say with certainty that they are not in the user/appdata/utorrent folder. I can't find anything in utorrent that will give me that information. I managed to find two in the temp files folder, but that's it. It seems as if those files are nonexistent. How can I transfer my torrent library to qBitttorrent? I've been trying to figure this out for the past hour with no luck and the internet has only succeeded in giving me contradictory information so far.

Where are the settings and .torrent files stored?
They are stored in %AppData%\uTorrent. The .torrent files you load are stored there so µTorrent can keep track of your torrents.[/quote]
http://www.utorrent.com/help/faq/installation -> the first question.
There is no other possibility.
You must see in
\AppData\[glow=red,2,300]Roaming[/glow]\uTorrent if you're under
Win 7.
