Hi, I just found out about qBittorrent and decided to go for it. My problem is that I've been using Vuze for some years and I have now some hundreds of torrents that I've downloaded and would like to keep seeding in qBittorrent. How can I make it import Vuze's library, so that it knows where the torrents are etc? Is it possible?
Regards
EDIT: sorry, I forgot to mention I'm on Win7 64 bits and that the folders for the downloaded files are stored in different drives and even under different names (when in the same harddrive)

File -> Import Existing Torrent -> Point qBT to the location
But if the files or directories have been renamed ..... You have no chance.

Thanks for your reply! But do I have to do this for _every_ torrent? Isn't there a way to simply point a folder or something? I imagine that the library file from Vuze should be pretty generic, maybe qBittorrent could read it?
Re: How to migrate Vuze library to qBittorrent?
Normally, Yes there is, but because of this;
qBT will not 'find' the payload in the default storage location without manual intervention.and even under different names (when in the same harddrive)
Re: How to migrate Vuze library to qBittorrent?
Oh, I see, but for the torrents that still are in the default folder, how can I import all these torrents? If I'm not mistaken, the way you appointed can only import one file at a time. Thanks again!
Re: How to migrate Vuze library to qBittorrent?
Set up a "Watched Folder" put the metadata files in that.
Put the payload in the folder that is set as "Keep incomplete ...." (
qBT will load the jobs and check the payload (method tested and verified in v3.2.0)

Re: How to migrate Vuze library to qBittorrent?
Thanks!! But how do I set up "Watched Folder" (otherwise than simply creating a new folder and copying files) and set it to "Keep incomplete"? By "metafiles" you mean the *.torrent files, right? As it is right now, I can't import folders, just files
Re: How to migrate Vuze library to qBittorrent?
Set up a watch folder:
Tools -> Options -> Downloads -> Automatically load torrents from: -> [ Add Folder... ]
And yes, metadata files have a .torrent extension

Re: How to migrate Vuze library to qBittorrent?
I tried your suggestion of setting a Watched folder with 'Keep incomplete' selected for my payload folder, but qBittorrent started to download many torrents I already have and it dawned on me that this won't work. I thought I could try doing this method for every folder in my drives that contain torrent payload, but it won't recognize the others, besides it is copying the files to the new location ('Save files to location') specified in tools. Urghh.. damn you Vuze, I guess I'm stuck with you till hell tears us apart.
Thanks a lot ciaobaby for your suggestions though, and for bearing with me all this time. Best!

Re: How to migrate Vuze library to qBittorrent?
Basically I don't think you can mass import files from Vuze. You'll have to do it one by one unless you have your data saved under the same root path. Then add as watched folder the folder where Vuze saves the .torrent files, then as a default save path put the common root path and UNSELECT the "keep incomplete torrents in:".
Re: How to migrate Vuze library to qBittorrent?
Yes, but that's the problem, having just one root path. I could even put all sparse folders in only one folder, but my drives are already full, so I can't put it in only one folder in one drive (I have 4 HDDs) - it could be in one folder per drive, but that's it. Well, thank you for your suggestions!
