Auto Download on deleted file/multiple download sockets

thelanranger commented 6 years ago

Please provide the following information

qBittorrent version and Operating System

v4.0.4 on Windows 10 (In Hyper-V on Server 2012)

If on linux, libtorrent and Qt version

What is the problem

If you download a torrent and it completes, then move the file or delete the file, when the application is started up again it just starts downloading the file again automatically.

What is the expected behavior

I would expect that if the download was in a completed/seeding state and the file was removed then the application was reopened it should fail into a "file missing" state not a re-download state.

Also, this re-download state seems to ignore the max download slots setting in the options. (Ex. Have several new files that are in progress, one downloading, several queued, download slots max set to 1. Remove several files manually and restart application, multiple files will be downloading at one time, the first in the queue and everything that was manually removed.)

Steps to reproduce

Add torrent, download file, let go to seeding state, remove file manually from outside the application, restart application.

Extra info(if any)

This is really a big problem if this is "by design". It can cause hit and runs really really easily without the user even realizing it if you have a lot of torrents. If there is not a "failed as file unavailable" state or no tracking of the progress state this should be added.

Yes, Qbt does that for me too. And we're not alone. A LOT of people experience this but, this won't be fixed because, apparently, the admins says "we fixed that a long time ago"; but they actually never did. It was never fixed.

My system: Core i7 950, 6GB RAM, GeForce GTX 680

Same problem on Windows 10 1709. I think it appears on qBittorrent 4.0 and above

silverwings15 commented 6 years ago

this happens on both Arch Linux and Win 7 for me, whether in 3.x.x and 4.0.4

Reachground commented 6 years ago

Qbt 4.1.0, Win 10 Pro 1607.

I'm sure this wasn't the case earlier. Was it changed in 4.0 and above perhaps? If I'm moving a 20GB file to another folder I don't want it to auto download again. Instead activate an error of some sort.

Please don't ignore this devs - this is a real issue and not a "feature"

I am considering moving to another client and telling everyone I know - because NO ONE wants to automatically download 100s of gigabytes "accidentally" just because they moved a folder.

No other torrent client treats missing files like this - why would qBittorrent decide without telling anyone?

This issue has been closed and locked for being too old, and thus either most likely resolved in recent versions or no longer applicable. If you experience the reported problem or similar in the latest version, please open a new issue report with the requested information in the issue template.

A new issue report with relevant updated data gathered from the latest version is preferable to necroing an old report with a comment like "still happens in version x.y.z", even if you think the bug is the same, or suspect of a regression. Due to the changes made to the qBittorrent code and its dependencies over time, the exact cause of your problem could be totally different than the original one, despite the visible symptoms of the bug being similar. Thus, providing relevant updated information is crucial to find and fix the root cause of a recurrent problem or regression.

Thank you for your contributions.
