Issues with the "Incomplete" torrents folders #2667

Closed gyrocog closed 4 years ago

gyrocog commented 9 years ago

So, I had to set the folder for my Incomplete torrents (let's call it unfinished), and it's placed within my regular torrents downloading folder.

  1. If I add a new torrent and decide to download it onto another drive (let's say it's 2nd), the .unwanted folders are created inside that unfinished folder on the 1st drive, and not in the folder where I'm downloading the torrent.
  2. Once downloading is completed and I delete the torrent from the list (but keep the content), the .unwanted folders are kept empty inside the unfinished folder on the 1st drive - they are not deleted.

Thanks for the detailed report. It will help to fix that feature. But for now consider "keep incomplete torrents in:" feature as unstable. (I'll add such a warning in the GUI too).

Sorry, forgot to include that. Windows 8.1, version is the latest stable release, 3.1.12.

Not a problem :) With every other torrent out there going nuts with bloating their software, I feel that qbit is the last hope to restore free and open torrenting... so to speak :) That's why I want to see it grow strong, stable, and easy to use, yet with enough options and features. And since I don't know how to code, this is the only way I can help you guys... unless you need UI works or something :)

The .unwanted folder feature was removed, it was too buggy, so issues about it are no longer relevant. The next official release will not include it. In the meantime you can build qBittorrent form source or use a pre-compiled alpha build such as: https://github.com/FranciscoPombal/qBittorrent/actions/runs/223928661 (it uses libtorrent 1.2.9 / Qt 5.15.0)

Thanks for the report!
