How to move the torrent data around on a per-tracker basis?

Note that I'm looking for a fully **client-agnostic** method for managing torrent data — I don't want to be tied to a specific program and I'm confident that the task can be achieved with general Unix tools. To illustrate, I've loads of completed torrents from archive.org and Kiwix and would for organization purposes benefit if the data was copied (or rather, symlinked) to dedicated directories in (e.g.) ~/torrents, from the client's download folder: /home/user/torrents/ ├── archive.org └── kiwix A torrent file contains the torrents directory structure and the trackers used (if any). The .torrent files can be inspected with transmission-show for instance. In essence: 1. read the torrent files stored in the client's session directory (~/.config/transmission-daemon/ for transmission) 1. identify where each torrent's data is stored 1. copy or symlink the data to a tracker-specific directory (see the output of the tree command above) from the torrent client's download folder (usually ~/Downloads).
