Is there anyway to take a torrent that has been downloading on one client (BitComet) and change it to a different client (utorrent)

So basically is there anyway to change a download from bitcomet to utorrent

No, you'll have to start it again, why do you want to do it anyway?

If you have the files save in the same directory, then yes it would work.

I agree with rox.my.sox though, why would you want to switch it?

Yeah, and why use BitTorrent xD

Yeah, and why use BitTorrent xD

Are there really that significant differences between clients? I have just stuck with BitTorrent because it was the original. I think.

I use MiniNova. Although I don't use it much anyway, i use warez a lot though.

[Aηdy]

Just restart the download! It's not the end of the world!

Well if you don't know a lot about computers, then just keep the download in the same torrent client.

Utorrent is the best out there IMHO. Just the program, lots of functions, no crap and it has tetris :D. Torrents are probably the safest and fastest way of getting anything :p

it is possible to switch clients instead of having to start over again.
go to your "torrents" folder and take out (torrent file, for example my "Ar Tonelico" that is the torrent task file not the XML ) to Desktop, then go into "Downloads" to drag out the file that you were downloading. then if you want you can delete your current client and get the one you want and then after you installed it and stuff, you can either
1. find a test torrent that you'll remove once its begun its download so it'll create the necessary folders for you automatically
OR
2. inside its own folder (Bitlord is what i'm using.) create a Downloads and Torrent folder (this may have a chance of not working depending on the clients you use.)
then at its "downloads" folder drag the file that it was downloading into it and then drag the "torrent task" to the torrent folder.
then double-click the torrent task file and it'll tell you it wants to download what you asked for. it should resume from where it stopped.
