transmission
I have a lot of torrents and currently I am using transmission as my torrent client, there is a problem that after I change the the folder name (this is important for me to organize my music folder) transmission stop recognize the files although they remained the same.
So I desire to change client but I can't find the torrent files where can i find them?
If you are using a router, make sure that the port used by Transmission for incoming connections is opened in your router (NAT port forwarding). As the other clients are faster, I suspect that they use a port that is already opened in your router.
In Transmission go to Edit > Preferences > Network and set the same port as in the other clients, and disable "Pick a random port every time Transmission is started". You can use the "Test Port" to see whether the chosen port is open.
It's also possible that your router is configured to accept UPnP or NAT-PMP port forwarding requests. If that is the case, you could enable the "Use UPnP or NAT-PMP port forwarding from my router" checkbox (instead of setting the port and opening it in the router manually).
Try this:
mkdir /your_path/progress
mkdir /your_path/completed
sudo usermod -a -G debian-transmission your_user
chgrp debian-transmission /your_path/progress
chgrp debian-transmission /your_path/completed
chmod 770 /your_path/progress
chmod 770 /your_path/completed
sudo service transmission-daemon stop
sudo adduser your_user debian-transmission
sudo nano /etc/init.d/transmission-daemon
sudo chown your_user -R /var/lib/transmission-daemon/info/
sudo chown your_user -R /your_path/progress
sudo chown your_user -R /your_path/completed
sudo chown your_user -R /etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json
And change in the file: sudo nano /etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json
"rpc-whitelist": "127.0.0.1" > "rpc-whitelist": "*.*.*.*",
"rpc-password": "password" > "rpc-password": "your_password",
"download-dir": "/var/lib/transmission-daemon/downloads" > "download-dir": "/your_path/completed"
"incomplete-dir": "/var/lib/transmission-daemon/downloads" > "incomplete-dir": "/your_path/progress"
Just restart the daemon:
service transmission-daemon start

Transmission stores your torrent files in your standard config folder, at
~/.config/transmission/torrentswhere ~ is your home folder.The .config folder is usually hidden. To get there, open the File Browser and go to your home folder. Choose View > Show Hidden Files in the menu, then look for ".config". In that folder you'll find transmission, and the rest should be pretty straight-forward. (By the way, to find a file in a long list you can just start typing its name).
The torrent folder contains every current torrent, and it includes torrents downloaded from magnet links as well. You can just open those with another client and it will work right away.
Remember to turn Show Hidden Files back off later on, or you'll see a lot of strange looking files:
