How to change seeded file location using i2p snark

Post by AntibodyMama »

I am torrenting via i2p using snark

When i download files and start seeding them, they are in /home/user/.i2p/i2psnark

I always want to change their location and put them in their proper place, for instance when i download music, i want to place them in /home/user/Music

So i have to stop the torrent, move the file manually via the file manager like Dolphin and create a new torrent again

Is there a way to move the file and change it's location without the need to recreate the torrent ?

2. move the files
3. make a symlink at the old place to point to the new place
