Tribler exp 6.6 crashed and burned

After my ISP equipment went bad, Tribler became corrupted. Everything is trying to download but to the wrong directory.
I have Tribler set for L directory but keeps downloading (files/torrents that have already completed) to K directory which has non torrent files.
I un-installed Tribler and re-installed it but Tribler does the same procedure over and over.
If I un-stall and delete the hidden Tribler files; I have to start over with over 140 torrents and lose my over 30 favorites votes.
Is there any other way to fix this corruption without starting at the very beginning.
Last time, I had a similar but different problem it took 9.5 hours to re-check and start 99 torrents.
I estimate it will take 13.5 to 16.5 hours to re-set all these torrents
