If you've ever run your drive out of space while a long-running download is still going, the Online Tech Tips weblog writes up a simple solution to change your download location to another drive.
The solution is easy enough: With uTorrent, just stop the torrent, change the download location to another external drive, and then move the half-finished files to the new downloads folder. Once you choose to restart the download again, uTorrent will detect the half-finished files and pick up where it left off. It's a simple solution, but might come in handy.
Hit the link for the full walk-through, or for more on BitTorrent, check out our beginner's guide to BitTorrent, go through the intermediate guide, and then check out our top 10 BitTorrent tips and tricks.
On the other hand, if you're on OS X or Linux using Transmission, this process is even easier. Just click the folder icon for your current download and select the Move Data File To option, choose where you want it to save, and you're done.
