Hi, I would like to know if anyone out there has an idea of how to copy over the file contents of the main MWO client into the PTS client so that I don't have to download the whole PTS client again...

This morning one of my hard drives crashed which contained my PTS client and there's no way I'll be able to download the full PTS client in time for the scheduled test. I've tried simply copying over all the files from my main client and running the PTS installer over it, but the patcher still wants to download 4050 megs!
My crappy 1mb/s internet line (bad country) will never finish it in time... Sigh

AFAIK, there is no way to copy over the main clients files over to the PTS folder and work. You have to download all the files again. Sorry.

You still have at least 10 hours until the testing ends though. If you start now, you might be able to finish in time to catch the tail end of the testing. Bonus is that there probably will be more people tonight then at noon.

Many files are not the same. It is essentially a different version.
