Usage

qbittorrent-cli can do a lot of things. For example, to import your Deluge torrent session into qBittorrent, see the below command. You can do a test run of the command by appending --dry-run to the command.

Before you start migrating your torrent session. Make sure you have set the same Default save path for your destination torrent client, as you have set for your source torrent client. Failing to do so would result in your new torrent client re-downloading all of your torrents again.

qbt torrent import deluge --source-dir ~/.config/deluge/state/ --qbit-dir ~/.local/share/qBittorrent/BT_backup/
qbt torrent export --source ~/.local/share/qBittorrent/BT_backup/ --export-dir ~/watch/deluge

For more information about torrent session migration, see this guide.
