Linux & Torrents: Switching from Deluge to KTorrent?
Hello!
I have been using Deluge as my main client for quite some time, but at some point it stopped working for me for a number of reasons. After exploring the alternatives, I chose KTorrent for myself: it had all the features I needed, plus, as a KDE user, I was especially attracted by its integration into the environment.
The problem is that Deluge has accumulated a rather impressive database of a couple of hundred torrents, which is very problematic to transfer manually. Some automation suggests itself. Only having felt that it was going to write a script, my hands itched and immediately opened a text editor. :)
A way to pull out all the torrents, indicating the folders where the downloaded files themselves are located, was found from Deluge pretty quickly. But add a torrent to KTorrent specifying a folderso that after checking the hash, the distribution immediately began, it turned out to be a non-trivial matter. You can just show the add existing torrent dialog and specify the folder there; you can not show this dialog, and then the download will be performed in the default folder (that's exactly what the download is, but the files are already there). But it is absolutely impossible to specify a folder. I got to the point of studying API and D-Bus - everything is the same there.
Maybe someone has already gone this way and can tell how to be?
Thanks in advance.
