Manually loading 1,500 torrents into transmission on FreeNAS

[windyboi]

Hi

I currently have around 1,500 torrents on my OSX transmission which I have just copied to transmission on Freenas into the correct folder in the transmission jail (/var/db/transmission/torrents). I know this is the correct folder because I added a torrent manually via the web interface and the .torrent file appeared here.

I expected these torrents to all load into Transmission, but they haven't.

How can I get them to load? I think I understand the concept of a watch directory, putting torrents into it and then Transmission picking them up, but this is not what I want. Any new torrents I add, will be added through the web UI, no need for a watch folder.

So what's the best way to get my 1,500 torrents in and seeding again?

Thank you

What you think you 'know', just ain't so! You didn't notice that a .resume file was created at the same time. Use the watch folder.

Ah right well, thank you for correcting me. Works like a charm now

Don't suppose there's any way of copying over the settings of which files to be downloaded and which not? A lot of my torrents are only half complete due to the files that I have selected to download on my Mac. I could go through all 1,500 and manually modify but would rather not!

Cheers

That info is contained in the original .resume files, which at this point, may or may not work for you. At least you would likely need to verify existing data and maybe also use 'Set Location' or put the data in the default d/l location.

Ah right,

Probably safer to do a manual jobby then! looks like a job for Sunday

Cheers
