Where Does EiskaltDC++ Store Hubs and Settings?
Where EiskaltDC++ keeps hub lists, downloads and settings on Linux for backup and full moves.
Last updated
EiskaltDC++ keeps hub favorites, credentials and options in a config folder, with finished files in a download directory you choose. The config home moved from a dot folder to XDG config between generations, so upgraded machines can hold both.
Check settings for the live paths before scripting backups. Copy config with transfers stopped so queue state writes cleanly. Share ratios and favorite hubs travel in the config tree alone.
Where EiskaltDC++ stores this, by platform
~/.config/eiskaltdc++
Hubs and settings under XDG config; dot folder on older builds. Confirm the download dir in Settings. Stop transfers before copying queue state.
Frequently asked questions
How do I migrate EiskaltDC++ to a new install?
Close EiskaltDC++ and copy its config folder plus the download directory. Hubs and settings travel in config, files in downloads. Passwords need the same login keyring on the new machine.
Where does EiskaltDC++ save files by default?
Open Settings and read the download directory. Defaults point under home Downloads, but the field always shows the live path. Older builds used a dot folder at home instead of XDG config.
