I am sick of managing torrents on my main pc and want to run them on my secondary pc and just remote into it.
my question, how can I move all of my torrents? both pc’s are linux if that helps. Is there a folder containing all torrent links that I can copy over? the actual files (linux isos) are on nas’s, so hopefully the filepath wouldn’t change…
Most torrent clients let you export the .torrent files that are currently active, pretty sure you could bulk export all of them. I would just start the client on your second pc, make sure thwyre both on the same Ethernet LAN, copy over all the torrent files on a USB, and let the client do the work of transferring all the files from your current machine to the new one (discovery usually works great over LAN and it will run at near line speed). Then delete the torrents from the old pc.
You will need disconnect the machines’ LAN from the internet during this process if you (likely) use a VPN during torrenting to ensure you don’t have any data leakage.
Alternatively, you can still move all the torrent data manually and then just copy the client config/temp folders onto the new machine, you will need to point the downloads folder to its new path but petty much every client is good at detecting existing torrent data.
