I2PSnark: How to change seeded file location

[lgillis]

In reference to the exemplary question in the forum that constantly kicks out its users and the administration knowingly lets this happen: How to change seeded file location using i2p snark

Code: Select all

# lang=bash
# i2psnark: stop the torrent
# open a terminal emulator (like konsole in dolphin F4)
cd /home/user/.i2p/i2psnark
# move files (man mv)
mv -v "new files" /home/user/Music/
# make symbolic links between files (man ln)
ln -sv /home/user/Music/"new files" .
# i2psnark: recheck the torrent
# i2psnark: start the torrent

The original file names must be retained.

Rename in the target directory as follows. (The example only works if the file names in the renamed target directory are retained.)

Code: Select all

# lang=bash
# rename files (man mv)
mv -v "new files" /home/user/Music/"albumartist, date: album"
# make symbolic links between files (man ln)
ln -sv /home/user/Music/"albumartist, date: album" "new files"

Note: Be careful with colons, I2PSnark has surrendered to the proprietary world with its limited file systems.
