[SOLVED] way to back up torrent magnets?

assuming the magnet links have been preserved at all.
I need to reinstall Mageia, but I have torrents that are weeks from finishing, I can back the actual date up no problems, it´s restarting them that I´m not sure about since they didn´t come with any actual torrent files but magnet links.

Save/restore .kde4/share/apps/ktorrent and they should restart.

thanks that worked, for those who look this up after me, Ktorrent will complain it can't access an index file inside ".kde4/share/apps/ktorrent/tor17/" for example.
just right click on the index file, properties, permissions tab, change everything from can read, to can read and write.
That worked for me.

Arminius, please?

Prefixing the title of the original posting with [SOLVED], would do just fine. ;)
