Best Way to Transfer Torrents to Linux

**GeekMaster1** · March 11th, 2008, 01:45 PM

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

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.
