New Install

Post by paulkont »

Dear Team, I had to reinstall Deluge, and lost all of my downloads....Can you tell me how I can recover all of my downloads (ie. which directory) including all the states, queued, paused, partly downloaded, fully downloaded? Thanks in advance!

Torrents are stored in the state folder within the config, however a new install should have picked up all of the settings from the old install unless you manually deleted the folder or you mean a new install on a new hard drive.

Thanks Shryp, I did install deluge on a new hard drive. The data from my old drive is at the computer shop, I just to go there with a thumb drive to capture the old data. Can I do that? Also, can you give me the entire filepath, Im assuming it's: ....../Deluge/config/state? Worst case scenario, can I read the state file and grab the torrent info from there? Thanks again

If the computer can boot with your user past thius location in a cmd or explore: %appdata%/deluge/state
If the computer is offline but with access to the windows drive replace $USER with your account name and go to C:\Users\$USER\AppData\Roaming\deluge\state

You can take the whole Deluge folder but take care about the path to torrents if any change occurred.
