Awesome Techs

For the people who knows how to do this may seem like why I am even writing this. But still there are people who dont know this.

First You will have to get the downloaded files and the torrent used for downloading. Get all the files which you want to resume in Linux in some sort of storage media if you are looking forward to format windows partition or you have encryption enables for the partition. Also get the torrent files (files with .torrent extension which you used to download).

In windows 7 if you are using utorrent you can get it from “C:\Users\obscurant1st\AppData\Roaming\uTorrent”.

You can find the path just by simple google search. So I’m leaving that job to you. And by if any chance you dont have the torrent file, just search in any torrent indexing site or if you remember from where you downloaded that torrent just go there. Then search for the name and get the right torrent. Here you will have to use your logic. Now after finding the right torrent download it and copy it to the linux desktop.

Now install qBittorrent in Linux. I’m using ubuntu 9.10 a.k.a. Karmic. Now mount the Windows Partition or if you have copied the partially downloaded files just copy it to the Home directory in linux. Then open qBittorrent and then take options, preferences & then downloads. In that change the download location to the directory to which you have copied the partially downloaded files. In this case the location will be “/home/<username>/”.  Now drag and drop the torrent files to the qBittorrent window. Now it will check for the integrity of the partially downloaded files if everything is in the right order, it will start downloading from where it stopped.

PS: Another good idea is to give the location of the windows Directory where the torrent downloads are located in the qBittorrent. The advantage is that now you can use linux for resuming. and after that if you had to logon to windows, then also you can resume from where linux stopped downloading.
