Add a "How to migrate from uTorrent Web" page to the wiki #19852

Suggestion

I think it would be good if the wiki had a section in the FAQs on how to migrate from uTorrent Web as it is one of the largest and it not simple how to transfer to a new client.

The page would just need changing to add:

uTorrent Web stores download information in an SQLite database. The location is: C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Roaming\uTorrent Web\resume.dat

This can be opened using most database software (DBeaver is a free one) Then open the TORRENTS table and copy the infohash values Add the infohash(es) to qTorrent by clicking "Add Torrent Link" in the top left corner

If you are planning to move already downloaded torrents to qBittorrent you just have to add the torrent and point it at the already downloaded file location

Use case

People moving from uTorrent web to qBittorrent who want to keep their downloads/links
