New hard-drive. Moving anime!
morset:
Here some tips might help you:
If you want to move your seeding files to another drive and keep seeding without doing the boredom recheck, here is a simple way since you use utorrent.
- First close utorrent.
- Make sure your target drive will have the same directory structure as your source drive ( Example:Move d:\naruto to f:\naruto), this is just to make it simple for you later.
- Now with any hex editor(i suggest HxD) open (c:\Documents and Settings\[login name]\Application Data\uTorrent\resume.dat)
- From search menu choose replace and edit the drive letter you changed (in the example above replace d:\naruto with e:\naruto).
-run utorrent again and now you can directly continue seeding with the new source.
- If you want to seed from external drive make sure to backup resume.dat periodically in case you run utorrent without plugging the external drive just to avoid the recheck.

Yeah, and you WILL pay for the extra electricity when having a desktop seeding 24/7 instead of my li'l eeepc 901 consuming 12 watts, + the external taking 8 watts - 20 watts altogether
My gigantic towercased überspecc'ed desktop consumes 400 watts when idle, go make the math ;p
In a three month period, it would be CHEAPER for me to buy a new external harddrive, than just using my 4 already inserted 1,5 terabyte raid disks (yes, 6 tera's in all) in my monster computer!

Yes, well, you're not supposed to use a high-powered system like that as an always-on server. Besides, electricity and hardware costs differ from place to place, and not every desktop is a gaming machine.

Exactly my point :D
So therefore I use my netbook laptop together with an external hard drive all of it consuming 20 watts 24/7 :p
If heat is the issue, I will go and spend some more serious cash on a drive with better cooling facilities ^^
