[SOLVED] upload created or already downloaded torrent

[looseloop]

after having immense problems with torrents on my windows computers i am now setting up a seedbox running archlinux. i am and will be using the daemon. i have a few questions which are probably n00b but after searching for hours i just cant seem to solve them

1. if i dont use the web gui, which tools should i use to edit the daemon. only transmission-daemon right?
2. i want to start seeding loads of torrents that i have already downloaded on other computers, and i also sometimes create my own torrens. preferably i would like to put these in a completely seperate folder from the completed and incomplete directorys, but thats not a must if not implementable. but how do i do this? it is not possible from the web gui right?

thanks!

EDIT: for a couple of hours, before i understood transmission-gtk and transmission-daemon were completely seperate entities i easily managed to load and start uploading finished torrents by simply choosing the directory in which i had saved the torrent data...

ok so i figured this one out myself. guess reading the man thoroughly solved my problem. had to read it a few times though to FIND what i was looking for. the pun is that i was looking for the command "find"

anyway to be able to add already downloaded torrents or newly created torrents using the transmission-remote terminal thingy you type

Code: Select all

transmission-remote -a <path for .torrent> --find <path for data>

tada!
