- [Help](#user-content-help)
- [Usage examples](#user-content-usage-examples)
Feature:
---------
- Processing all torrents
- Processing torrents with subdirectories and without subdirectories
- Processing torrents with renamed files
- Processing torrents with non-standard encodings (for example, cp1251)
- Processing of torrents in the not ready state *
- Processing magnet links
- Processing modified torrent names
- Save date, metrics, status. **
- Import of tags and labels
- Multithreading
- Covered with tests
> [!NOTE]
> \* This torrents will not be done (0%) and will need force recheck (right click on torrent -> Force recheck)
>
> [!NOTE]
> \* If you migrate from windows to linux and use replace function attention that multiple flags -r processing one by one
> [!NOTE]
> \* If you migrate **from windows -> to linux**
> - If your torrent files are saved to some other place, you must use the flag: **--search** ... _with actual paths in yours system_
> - You may need to define **path separathor** with **--sep** flag
> [!NOTE]
> \*\* The calculation of the completed parts is based only on the priority of the files in torrent. Don't transfer global uTorrent/BitTorrent statistics.
> [!NOTE]
> \*\*\* Partially downloaded torrents will be visible as 100% completed, but in fact you will need to do a recheck (right click on torrent -> Force recheck). Without recheck torrents not will be valid. This is due to the fact that conversion of .dat files in which parts of objects are stored is not implemented.
> [!IMPORTANT]
> Before using `bt2qbt`, do not forget to **make backup** from:
> - bittorrent\utorrent data,
> - qbittorrent folder, and
> - config %APPDATA%/Roaming/qBittorrent/qBittorrent.ini.
> Close both programs before making a copy!
> [!IMPORTANT]
> You must previously disable option: "Append .!ut/.!bt to incomplete files" in preferences of uTorrent/Bittorrent, or that files wouldn't be handled
