<h1>If you've <span>switched </span>from uTorrent to Torrentflux or vice versa, your files are still on your server. Here's
what to do to get your torrents up and running again:</h1>
<p><br /><strong>1)</strong> Log in to your server via <strong>SFTP</strong> with your favorite client. With <strong>FTP</strong>, you will <em>not </em>have access to the higher directory structures. More on connecting through <strong>SFTP </strong><a href="http://support.seedboxhosting.com/forums/41454/entries/30120" target="_blank" title="SFTP: Downloading Files Through Secure FTP">here</a>.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>2)</strong> Move your <em>downloaded files</em> from your previous client's directory to your new client's directory:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>uTorrent </strong>stores them here: /data/admin/utorrent/</li>
<li><strong>Torrentflux </strong>stores them here: /data/admin/torrentflux/admin/</li>
<li><strong>ruTorrent</strong> stores there here: /data/admin/rutorrent/</li>
<li><strong>wTorrent</strong> stores there here: /data/admin/rutorrent/<br /></li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>3)</strong> Move your <em>.torrent</em> files from your previous client's directory to your new client's directory:</p>
<ul>
<li> <strong>uTorrent </strong>stores them here: /data/admin/utorrent/.transfers</li>
<li><strong>Torrentflux </strong>stores them here: /data/admin/torrentflux/.transfers </li>
<li><strong>ruTorrent</strong> auto-starts torrents placed here: /data/admin/rutorrent/.watch (Make sure your data is in the data dir <em>before</em> moving .torrent files here.)<br /></li>
<li><strong>wTorrent</strong> stores there here: /data/admin/rutorrent/.transfers<br /> </li>
</ul>
<p> <strong>NOTE: <em>You may have to create one or both of the destination directorys if your client is as-of-yet unused for downloading.</em></strong></p>

<p> </p>
<p><strong>4)</strong> Now refresh your client and start your torrents. Enjoy!</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>NOTE: If some of your files don't show up in your new client, look for special characters in your .torrent file names. </strong><strong>Spaces and certain special characters are </strong><strong>not compatible with Torrentflux file names, so Torrentflux always renames them when adding through the web interface. If you upload directly, you will need to check the names yourself.<br /><em></em></strong></p>
