I have a MacOs running as a sort of seedbox seeding 70ish torrents. But macos qbittorrent is buggy and means that for various reasons I have to restart the client every couple hours so or the connection breaks. Which is inconvenient.
Transmission macos doesn’t have this problem. So it’s much better long term. Tho I’m not sure how I can tranfer all the seeding files to transmission. Manually sounds like a nightmare, and even then, I tried one and for some reason it wouldn’t verify my downloaded files and insisted on redownloading the torrent from scratch. Even though I had made sure I was pointing to the correct directory. This may be because I’ve renamed files in the past (don’t really remember) but qbittorrent seems to have no issue with it.
This is complicated by the fact my torrents are in different directories or “nestled”. Like my directory looks kind of like
>TV Shows
>> Futurama
>>> Futurama S01 [Torrent]
>>> Futurama S02 [Torrent]
>> Planet Earth III [Torrent]
> Movies
>> Up [Torrent]
>> Star Wars
>>> Phantom Menace [Torrent]
Edit: Thanks for the replies. Seems about what I figured. I guess every time i open my client I’ll have fun moving 2-3 torrents over.
Using qbittorrent export all the .torrent files for your existing torrents and import them stopped into Transmission. For each torrent, right click on it and click “set location” choosing the correct directory from your qbittorrent download directory and click OK. The torrents will re-verify and because the files are in the location you chose they will be at 100% after file verification and begin to see under Transmission.
You can safely uninstall qbittorrent now as long as you don’t remove the download directory (or change the location of the files as you’re importing them into Transmission).
