Migrate from rTorrent to Transmission

Post by TurtleDriver »

Hi,

I'd like to move from rtorrent to transmission for managing a torrent folder on Archlinux. I'm using transmission-daemon with the remote-cli tool, no gui. So far I've set transmission-daemon's download folder to be the existing one, and have moved the .torrent files to a new watch folder.

Transmission is re-downloading the files which already exist in the download folder. Is there any way to have it check if the file exists first?
Also, several of the files were started by meta-links, and have no .torrent file to place in a directory. Can I migrate them to transmission or do I have to go find all of the meta links again in order to keep seeding?

Thank you,
TD
