I’m pretty sure. I think. I can’t find a core2.dat in my Linux filesystem so i assume it works some other way, and therefore it’s cooked.
The reason i want to do this is because transplanting core2.dat is what you usually do to recover your settings and transfers. I this case though i’ve installed it on my Linux PC so i don’t think this is going to work.
I’ve resorted to exporting all magnets and re-importing them, but that has a few drawbacks.
I’ll update if i find better solutions. So far, if you want to transfer your Tixati from Windows to Linux, my advice is probably don’t
Does this work? https://support.tixati.com/settings - import export
I assume you’d need to either try and unravel the export to correct the paths or do it after the fact.
No i haven’t tried that yet, my assumption is that this only includes the settings and not the actual transfers. If it did include the transfers then Tixati users would just do that, instead i was always told to transplant core2.datWait, now that i read that, it DOES include transfers! I did not know that, that’s a solid lead thank you
EDIT: It works, all the transfers are backed up; this is a lot better, especially because i preserves dates (Created, Completed, Bits uploaded, Ratio, etc).
BUT, the file locations are also backed up. This is a problem because i’m switching from Windows to Linux, so i can’t recreate the file structure because it starts with D:/ instead of starting with /media
Once i update the file location, it triggers a force check, which is the point where some of them fail and display 99% even though they were 100% before. That problem is still unsolved, and i now realize it probably can’t be solved.
Overall though this is great, you made me notice something i didn’t and it’s way better than what i was doing, thanks!
Title makes me think you’re gonna explain 🥲
Oh i see it now, i didn’t mean it like that lol
Yeah as far as i can tell the best way to do this is to export all magnets out of the old system, import them in the new system, make sure the file path / location is correct, and force check. It’s what i did, but a lot of transfers are apparently only 99% complete even though they were 100% before. Of these, many have 0 peers so i don’t know if there’s any hope of them completing.
It’s a shitshow. Honestly i fucking hate torrenting right now, nothing ever works
Sorry! That really stinks! Wonder if qbit would work better
Tried qBittorrent and Transmission, they don’t do better, in fact they see the same number of peers as Tixati does. And i don’t know what would happen if i had two clients try to download the same file, probably nothing good.
Are you trying to do this too?
do you have a port open for the torrent client? also, you are speaking of torrents that otherwise have peers, right?
Yes i do set up port forwarding every time, but no i don’t know if those even have peers. They should because i don’t think RARBG is that dead, but maybe they just don’t.
Then again most peers i do get come back as “Timed out connecting” and “Connection reset”, so it does make me wonder if i’m just doing it wrong. It seems to happen whether or not the VPN is on.
EDIT: i’m using Proton and this is how i set up port forwarding, i do notice a difference
Sorry, no I just recommended it because it’s typically the standard recommendation in my experience.
That dies sound frustrating though
