Hi people

I'm using qbittorrent-nox v3.1.10 and it's really good. Thanks!

Today I moved my qbt to different server, it has a different disk layout.
I'm trying to move my torrents to this new server but I can't get them active again.
Apparently the problem is the savePath registered in the fastresume file (in ~/.local/share/data/qBittorrent/BT_backup/)
It contains a section :
...:qBt-savePath32:/media/HP/qbittorrent/Downloads/12:...
I can read : tag qBt-savePath, length 32 characters,value /media/HP/qbittorrent/Downloads/
This path doesn't exist so when the file becomes complete or when I force-recheck it it isn't moved to its destination.

I've tried to edit the file but qbittorrent-nox seems to restore the savePath to the old value (how?)
In the qbittorrent GUI version there is an option to change the savePath of a given torrent.
Can you do that somehow in the nox version of qbt?

Its because the savepath for the torrents are stored individually in their fast resume files.
Not sure if thats different for nox or not :X

Dont remember if the webui lets you change the location of the saved files the same way the client does (right click > set location)
