Know which torrent that u want to shift. Example: knopix.iso
found the original torrent file. something like knopix.torrent
this ".torrent file can usually be found in "\bittorrent client name\torrent\"

make sure the download path of Utorrent is the same as you partly downloaded file.
look for the partly download file.
Rename it to "whatever filename.extension" to "whatever filename.extension.!ut"
ie: knopix.iso to knopix.iso.!ut

[ important: you are just add ".!ut" to the filename ]

open ".torrent" file with Utorrent. ( select Add ->torrent) you found eariler.
click OK.
then right click and select "STOP" to stop it from running.
right click on torrent in window, then select "Force Reheck"
after Utorrent finished "Force Reheck" you should have "50%" finished displayed.
then start the torrent, thats it, utorrent will finish it from there.
