so i seed some vids on a torrent tracker.

I want to install mandriva instead of my crap Windows xp on this system.

so I will have to reinstall OS(mandriva) backup the .torrents and vids, then install Mandriva and setup azureus again and this is the part of my question.

How do I resume the seeding of my torrents that have previously been uploaded to the tracker???

I assume this is possible.

I *believe* it's as simple as putting the completed torrents in the folder for completed torrents as specified by your client, and then opening up the torrent files. In Azureus, I'm pretty sure this works - it'll have to verify the file hash, but it should recognize that the file is complete and start seeding it.

what foos said. I've done this before. Just copy all the files including the torrent file into the same directory, then open the torrent file on the other machine.
