Hi,

I've just downloaded Ubuntu with Deluge for Windows and installed it.
Deluge has also been installed on Ubuntu, now I need to know how to import my torrents and downloaded files (so I can return the favor...).
Just one notice: I'm relatively new to Linux, have used Mandriva for some time in 2007.

Thanks,

Marcel

Thanks johnnyg!!
And what about the actual files, I just copy them to the download directory I selected in Ubuntu?

it depends where they were downloaded to before.
most likely you'll have to use the move storage function to start downloading them again.

On linux i link 'state' dir to a location, which is not affected by device firmware reinstallation. So i can install Deluge again and "connect" it to my torrents.
But now i see that all torrents need re-check, and torrent file stucture resetted (for ex.: i changed "The Simpsons - Season 6/..." to "The Simpsons/Season 6/..."). Is it a bug?
