rtorrent randomly stopping torrents, and won't resume until a specific key sequence is performed #147

I have had an issue with rtorrent randomly stopping torrent files, or pausing them. If I go in and attempt to start them again, they go back into a stopped or paused state. Same thing happens if I attempt to do a force re-check of data. These can be completed or partially downloaded torrents. It doesn't matter where they are along the process.

The only way I know how to resolve this is to open the rtorrent interface, go through every torrent and do the following key commands: [Ctrl] + [K] [Ctrl] + [S]

However, this can be very aggravating on 200+ torrents.

Is there any way to resolve this?

Ive noticed this too, stopping + starting helps.

I recently encountered this issue when transitioning from downloading .torrent files to creating meta torrent files containing magnet links.

When rtorrent picks those metafiles up, it deletes them soon tripping a schedule = blah,10,10,close_untied= stanza. Commenting out those config lines allows the torrents to keep running.

There are 2 different issues here: A. OP: probably frontend(s) has been used with rtorrent that handles something wrong.

B. Yours: using a magnet-meta file:

rtorrent handles a magnet links in 2 steps: first when snatches the torrent file itself, then it starts downloading the actual data
both steps triggers the defined events (start, stop, finished, etc)
I use this approach to handle it (when I check it against delete) :
- or=not=$d.is_meta=,d.is_not_partially_done=
- note that d.is_meta is only available in the git version of rtorrent not in 0.9.6 (though there's a patch for 0.9.6)
