Moving Transmission to a new machine
 
Hi, I've just built a new machine and installed 10.04 Ubuntu on it (like the last one). As Transmission was in the middle of downloading when I changed machines I'd like to move the database/settings so I can carry on where I left off. (I have moved the drives to the new machine). Also want to move JDownloader likewise. Only had Linux for 2 months so please keep it simple!! thanks!!!

The transmission settings are stored in your home folder in .config/transmission - these can be bundled up into a file from a command shell using:
Code:
tar czf transmission.tar.gz .config/transmission
then copied over the home directory of the to the new machine and unbundled from a command shell using
Code:
tar xzf transmission.tar.gz
You will also need to copy over any partial downloads as well, keeping them in the same folders as they were in.
