This guide works for both Uploaded and Snatched Torrents.
Getting the files
First of all you want to download the zip of all the torrents you have snatched/uploaded.
Extract to [...]/(Username)'s Snatches
Because utorrent doesn't automatically search subfolders, and what.cd gives you a bunch of month folders in your snatches zip you have to get all the torrents in the same folder. There are several ways you can do this. The easiest way is to go into the Snatches folder, search '(' or '-' I'm not sure if this picks up applications but because of the filename system of downloaded torrents [Artist - Album - 1991 (CD - FLAC - Lossless).torrent] it picks up all albums. Now simply select all of the search results and copy.
Go back to your 'Snatches' folder and paste.
(I'm not sure how you would go about doing the previous steps on mac/linux)
Setting up uTorrent
You want to make sure you have no torrent's under 'No Label' this will make it easier for sorting later.
Go to Options > Preferences > UI Settings
Check 'Don't start the download automatically'
This is to insure that you don't accidentally redownload any data.
Go to Options > Preferences > Directories and set 'Put new downloads in:' to your What.CD(or other tracker) Seeding/Download folder.
Still in Directories check 'Automatically load .torrents from:'
Set the location to your /(Username)'s Snatches folder
(Optional but I suggest) Check 'Delete loaded .torrents' because this will only leave torrents that were not added for whatever reason.
After applying and hitting ok, utorrent may freeze, GIVE IT TIME. Depending on the user it may have to add A LOT of torrents. And if it does freeze and you have to close it, simply reopen it and it will add from wherever it left off. Sometimes utorrent won't just automatically start looking for new torrents so you have to restart it to begin the process.
After it has finished, select all your 'No Label' torrents and 'Force Recheck'
You should get %100 on all torrents unless you renamed files/folders or changed the files themselves.
Once they have all checked sort by 'Done' and select all the 100% and investigate why any failed the check.
This thread is over 2 years old, but works good when only adding a few torrents. I have made a new one taking advantages of both new features to what.cd and new features of utorrent making mass adding easy.
