Moving partials to different drive

[Phil_C]

Hello
Recently my HDD with the partial downloads was getting close to full so I copied all the files to a larger drive and changed the settings in Shareaza for the partial files to the new location. Any new downloads save to the new directory but all the older partials are still being saved to the old folder with the result that the drive now has 0 space left and Shareaza cannot finish the older downloads. I read on this forum that there is a away around this but it is slow and tedious but I also read that this issue was resolved. I am using version 2.7.8.0.

Is there an easy and fast workaround for this problem?

Regards

Phil

If you change pathsettings you need to restart that the settings can take effect.

Hello
Thanks for the reply but I changed the settings months ago and so Shareaza has been restarted multiple times. Also Windows 7 has been reinstalled twice and Shareaza as well since I added the larger drive.

Delete Users-Folder on <oldDrive>.
But before, copy your incompletes to <newDrive>
If you got unluck, you might lost all of your downloads. Especially with 64-bit Version.

If you use the C:\Users\<USERNAME>\Downloads it is in any kind some sort of Win-Systemfolder.
Even when changing name, it does not help. Win will see this.
With incomplete-folder it is the same ( if remembering right, somewhere in ..\Roaming\AppData )
