How to restore accidentally deleted torrent? #1017

Closed ragnarov closed 4 years ago

ragnarov commented 4 years ago

It seems torrent's data has not been deleted. How could I restore it and start downloading from last time? Also how can I prevent or at least get a confirmation before ctrl+d deletes a torrent?

you should add the torrent to rtorrent once again, making sure you are specifying the exact same position on disk. rtorrent will then start hash-checking the content, detecting how much has been downloaded and how much is missing.

Also how can I prevent or at least get a confirmation before ctrl+d deletes a torrent?

take a look at rtorrent-ps -- further reading at https://rtorrent-ps.readthedocs.io/en/latest -- which heavily modifies rtorrent to accomplish, amongst other things, key rebindings.

rtorrent, as far as I know, is not capable of rebinding keys. :confused: I fully agree with you that would be a great option! it's already being tracked in #817, although it's an old issue. for me the most annoying mishap is an accidental press of CTRL-Q.
