I’m pretty sure. I think. I can’t find a core2.dat in my Linux filesystem so i assume it works some other way, and therefore it’s cooked.

The reason i want to do this is because transplanting core2.dat is what you usually do to recover your settings and transfers. I this case though i’ve installed it on my Linux PC so i don’t think this is going to work.

I’ve resorted to exporting all magnets and re-importing them, but that has a few drawbacks.

I’ll update if i find better solutions. So far, if you want to transfer your Tixati from Windows to Linux, my advice is probably don’t

      Oh i see it now, i didn’t mean it like that lol

      Yeah as far as i can tell the best way to do this is to export all magnets out of the old system, import them in the new system, make sure the file path / location is correct, and force check. It’s what i did, but a lot of transfers are apparently only 99% complete even though they were 100% before. Of these, many have 0 peers so i don’t know if there’s any hope of them completing.

      It’s a shitshow. Honestly i fucking hate torrenting right now, nothing ever works

          Tried qBittorrent and Transmission, they don’t do better, in fact they see the same number of peers as Tixati does. And i don’t know what would happen if i had two clients try to download the same file, probably nothing good.

          Are you trying to do this too?

            do you have a port open for the torrent client? also, you are speaking of torrents that otherwise have peers, right?

            Sorry, no I just recommended it because it’s typically the standard recommendation in my experience.

            That dies sound frustrating though
