Tool for replacing paths in qBittorent .fastresume files.
For example, useful when moving to different PC or OS, especially from Windows to Linux/MacOS because they don't have drive letter paths.

You can build it from the source code as described in the next section or download .exe in Releases https://github.com/AlexP11223/qBTConverter/releases
Can be build using any modern Visual Studio with C#/.NET 4.0, such as VS 2017 Community (free). Probably works on Mono too, but not tested.
Simply open the .sln file and Build Solution.
Open a command prompt in the folder with the .exe and run:
qBTConvert <qBittorent BT_backup dir> <your windows download directory> <your linux download directory>
Examples:
qBTConvert C:\Users\grasmanek94\AppData\Local\qBittorrent\BT_backup V:\downloads /data/torrents/downloads
qBTConvert C:\Users\grasmanek94\AppData\Local\qBittorrent\BT_backup U:\downloads /data/torrents/downloads
You can also add --verbose at the end to see list of skipped files.
It does not modify the original files, the results will be in /out subfolder of BT_backup/.
