qBittorrent official forums

Hi,

X: I'm running out of the space on one of my HDDs so I want to move all the torrents from this disk to other. Say all torrents from `D:\music` to `F:\music`. I don't want to do it using "Set location..." because it's manual and since I have a lot of torrents it's error prone. I've tried it 3 times and already screwed up Also some of them renamed from `Awesome-name-SOME-GARBAGE-INFO-FROM-TORRENT-CREATOR.mp3` to `awesome-name(year).mp3` which will add a lot of extra works.

Y: I'm ok if anybody can suggest a script solution. I've found the `%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\qBittorrent\BT_backup` folder with the *.fastresume files in it. There is raw info about saved path: "qBt-savePath<N>:/path/to/saved/torrent/". I've tried to replace this with "qBt-savePath<M>:/path/to/new/location" but nothing really changed after qBittorrent restart.

Set ALL jobs to paused,
close down the client, (wait for ALL operations to cease)
move the files,
restart the client,
change the location in options -> downloads,
recheck the tasks before resuming them.

Do you mean change "Save file to location"? This directory is not related to directory I'm trying to move, files saved in non-default location.

Then you WILL have to move them using "set new location" so qBitTorrent can keep track of where the payload for the task is located.

Do you know that you can select more than one task to move multiple payloads to one location with one "set location" action, without having to verify each move.

The problem is manual selecting and moving. But even if I can handle it there is other problem.

Example:
  Moving D:\music to F:\music

Current torrents:
  t1: Download `album-1` to `D:\music\artist-1\`
  t2: Download `album-2` to `D:\music\artist-2\`

Selecting t1 and t2 and moving both to F:\music result:
  F:\music\album-1
  F:\music\album-2

Instead of expected:
  D:\music\artist-1\album-1
  D:\music\artist-2\album-2
