Mass move torrents to new storage

Hello,
I have over 1000 torrents on 3 drives and would like to move all of them to my new HDD without losing seeds.
There's only move storage but it's tedious and would like take weeks to move them manually.
Anyone have ideas how to sort that the fastest way?
Is there any plugin?

Looks like there's a script for uTorrent that solves moving and location issues. Time to switch I guess

Deluge-gtk's move is not smart. Rather than queuing and moving one at a time, it moves all selected torrents together. HDs (and most file systems) do not like that.
I wrote a python script that moves one torrent at a time from a specified "from" location to "to" location. It uses deluge-console underneath. I am happy to share it if you still need. Though, it is a somewhat make shift script (not very well documented, has no test suite etc) and it'll be as-is (no or very limited support). It does the job though and you can further customize if you know some python.

Attached zip contains the main script
deluge_move_v0.2.py and its two small dependencies. Please extract them all in a directory and run like this:
Code: Select all
~/bin/deluge_move_v0.2.py --deluge_host 192.168.1.9 --deluge_port 48886 --FROM /home/myuser/Downloads --TO /mynas/somefolder
It moves torrents residing at 'FROM' to 'TO', one at a time.
Deluge username is hardcoded in
deluge_move_v0.2.py , in line 15. Please update it before running.

@jacko, Sorry buddy, it's a bot, but kind of you, thanks! Ambipro called it firstly, but I was too hesitant/cautious initially(proof), but now beginning to piss me off honestly
