Restoring partially completed file with Bittorent?

Ok, so my motherboard decided to die, causing me to get a new mobo and reinstall windows.

Problem is, it died right before completing a 99.2% torrent on a TV series as well as a 87% torrent on an anime series, both amounting to about 16 gigs...

So... if I reinstall azereus, how do I get the new copy to recognize that those files are partially completed files that I wish to download from torrent, and get it to append to those files?

I'm using azereus btw.

Resume the torrent and save it in the same location. Azureus will hash-check the file and then start downloading, assuming there are still peer with parts you need.

well... I've got 3 hard drives, and I'm installing Win XP onto the one without azereus right now... so when I get XP up and running I'll be able to view my old main HD unaltered...

is there a way to move azereus and the partially completed data off that hard drive, so I can format it and make it my primary hard drive again?

Ok. I'll try it out when I eventually get things up and running...

kinda made this thread preemptively so I could just start doing it once everything was up and running.
