Linux tool for migration from Bittorrent/uTorrent/Deluge to qBittorrent

[rumanzo]

Original topic viewtopic.php?f=14&t=5889

Disappointed in the existing application on the ruby, which could not handle all my torrents, I wrote my own application on golang.
I tested it on my own torrent database (3k+) and test torrents on Bittorrent/uTorrent clients (version 3+).
Features:

• Processing all torrents
• Processing torrents with subdirectories and without subdirectories
• Processing torrents with renamed files
• Processing torrents with non-standard encodings (for example, cp1251)
• Processing of torrents in the not ready state *
• Save date, metrics, status. **
• Import of tags and labels
• Multithreading
• Path replace mechanism

* This torrents will not be done (0%) and will need force rehash
* If you migrate from windows to linux and use replace function attention that multiple flags -r processing one by one
* If you migrate from windows to linux and yours torrent files saves to some place you must use flag --search with actual paths in yours system
* If you migrate from windows to linux you may need to define path separathor with --sep flag
** The calculation of the completed parts is based only on the priority of the files in torrent
*** Partially downloaded torrents will be visible as 100% completed, but in fact you will need to do a rehash. Without rehash torrents not will be valid. This is due to the fact that conversion of .dat files in which parts of objects are stored is not implemented.

Don't forget before use make backup bittorrent\utorrent, qbittorrent folder. and config %APPDATA%/Roaming/qBittorrent/qBittorrent.ini. Close all this program before.

Usage:
If you MacOs user or Linux user don't forget to make the file executable:

Code: Select all

$ chmod +x bt2qbt_v1.3_amd64_macos

1.) Help (from cmd or powerwhell)

Code: Select all

 C:\Users\user\Downloads\bt2qbt_v1.3_amd64.exe [OPTIONS]

Application Options:
  -s, --source=         Source directory that contains resume.dat and torrents
                        files (default:
                        C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\uTorrent\)
  -d, --destination=    Destination directory BT_backup (as default) (default:
                        C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\qBittorrent\BT_backup\)

      --without-labels  Do not export/import labels
      --without-tags    Do not export/import tags
  -t, --search=         Additional search path for torrents files
                        Example: --search='/mnt/olddisk/savedtorrents'
                        --search='/mnt/olddisk/workstorrents'
  -r, --replace=        Replace paths.
                        Delimiter for from/to is comma - ,

Example:

Code: Select all

It will be performed processing from directory C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\uTorrent\ to directory C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\qBittorrent\BT_backup\
Check that the qBittorrent is turned off and the directory C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\qBittorrent\BT_backup\ and config C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\qBittorrent\qBittorrent.ini is backed up.


Press Enter to start

Started
1/2 Sucessfully imported 1.torrent
2/2 Sucessfully imported 2.torrent

Press Enter to exit

3.) Run application from cmd or powershell with keys, if you want change source dir or destination dir, or export/import behavior

C:\Users\user\Downloads> .\bt2qbt_v1.3_amd64.exe -s C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\BitTorrent\
It will be performed processing from directory C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\BitTorrent\ to directory C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\qBittorrent\BT_backup\
Check that the qBittorrent is turned off and the directory C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\qBittorrent\BT_backup\ is backed up.

Press Enter to start
Started
1/3233 Sucessfully imported 1.torrent
2/3233 Sucessfully imported 2.torrent
3/3233 Sucessfully imported 3.torrent
...
3231/3233 Sucessfully imported 3231.torrent
3232/3233 Sucessfully imported 3232.torrent
3233/3233 Sucessfully imported 3233.torrent

Hi,
i have same problem as this topic title.
I have uTorrent in some folder like d:\uTorr but uTorrent configured to store torrent files to e:\torrents\...
Can't decode torrent file d:\uTorr\e:\torrents\file.torrent for e:\torrents\file.torrent
using --replace "d:\uTorr\," des not take an effect. I have tried --replace "d:\uTorr\,something" also to test replace with not blak replace.
How i can migrate that?
Thank you

Hi! You need use -s flag

[lordrak]

Hi,
i am using -s parameter. Without it i got Cannot find utorrent...
this is my complete cmd
bt2qbt_v1.8_amd64.exe -s "d:\uTorr" -d "d:\qbittorren\profile\qBittorrent\data\BT_backup\" -c "d:\qbittorren\profile\qBittorrent\config\qBittorrent.ini" --replace "d:\uTorr\,"
Then i got for all files error: Can't decode torrent file d:\uTorr\e:\torrents\file.torrent for e:\torrents\file.torrent

I have forgot wriote i am trying migrate from uTorrent to qB on Windows.

Why you use replace flag? Probably you don't need them

[lordrak]

Probably misunderstood how to use it.
But i have use it because i am trying to solve my problem where bt2qbt contactenate absolute path of source and absolute path of torrent file which mialy not when it contains full path (ex starting like d:\)
I am not sure, hot i can solve it by me.

Tell me, where you utorrent/qbittirrent profile and do you change torrent save paths (files i mean)

[lordrak]

uTorrent path where resume.dat is also is d:\uTorr
Location of torrents files are located in different path: e:\torrents\


Then i got for all files error: Can't decode torrent file d:\uTorr\e:\torrents\file.torrent for e:\torrents\file.torrent

May be it's a bug, I need to check it.

[lordrak]

Ok, how i can assist to you?

[rumanzo]

Ok, how i can assist to you?

I build new version, if I clearly understand your problem it must help, try it. And don't use replace flag if you don't change any torrents paths.

[lordrak]

Perfect, not it is working. Thank you for very quick support.
May be i have one enhacement. Whe i use -d flag with path ends with back slash (like that: "d:\qbittorren\profile\qBittorrent\data\BT_backup\") your convertor shows error "Can't create qBittorrent fastresume file d:\qbittorren\profile\qBittorrent\data\BT_backup"
When i use without backslash (like that: "d:\qbittorren\profile\qBittorrent\data\BT_backup") it is works.
Can you add in future some fix to thet? Sometimes it is confusing because where user back slas at the end of path and where do not.
Thank you
Lordrak

It's very strange https://github.com/rumanzo/bt2qbt/blob/ ... #L309-L311 , I don't know what I must fix

[carolynperry]

but access to the torrent file is needed, and in the case of a system migrated to Linux, it is impossible to determine whether the former paths were mounted and where they were mounted.
