Best Way to Transfer Torrents to Linux

[GeekMaster1]

I'm switching from Windows to Linux, so I was wondering what the best way to transfer all my torrents to the best Linux torrent client was.
I have the same torrents on multiple sites which consist of torrents in different directories, so they aren't all in the same directory.
What's the best Linux torrent client and what is the best way to transfer these torrents from uTorrent to the best Linux client.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Hi man,
You can use Azureus on Linux. You probably have all your torrents on an NTFS filesystem, which Linux can't read. You'll need to copy them to a FAT32 drive as both Windows and Linux can read that. The max file size on FAT is 4GB, so from there you might want to copy your data (if it's >4GB) onto an ext3 (Linux) filesystem.
Other than that, I don't forsee any problems (in terms of torrents anyway!).

Six months? Why?

I kinda made that up - just that I may have exhausted my usefulness for a while :D

Man instead of switching from windows to linux why not just switch from vista to xp? :P

isnt there a thread somewhere where u can discuss that?
that post is completely irrelevant to the topic.
i think there are some XP fan-boy forums somewhere.

i try my damndest to seed my best.
my upload is about 5 MBs, but i can never max that out.
Might have something to do with Vista *lol*
But in all seriousness, I wish I knew what to do about that.

[Andrew110]

When you run a speedtest you get 5MB/sec?

25MBs down and 5 MBs up on speed test

I'm guessing you have verizon fios so there shouldn't be a problem with them capping you. Found this (http://torrentfreak.com/optimize-vista-for-bittorrent-emule-p2ptv/) artice on torrentfreak.

After some research I've found they have been known for capping their users.

1st
Clients to try out: Azureus, ktorrent, rtorrent
The first one is the heaviest on resources, the last one is the lightest client on any platform i suppose, it is accessed through a command line interface and it monitors a folder you select for torrent (you add a torrent file in a folder and it starts downloading). You can find many guides on how to set it up even here i suppose.

2nd Who said linux can't read and write ntfs partitions? Check the howto guides of your linux distributions for "ntfs-3g". They won't be hard to find.

3rd To "transfer" torrents, you simply point the new torrent client to your download directory and add the .torrent files again. After a hash check, you should be seeding fine.

Cool, I'd never heard of ntfs-3g.
