[quote="rumanzo"]When this error occurs? After working the script from the topic?

So? What do you think?

I think that it's easy to do, but I do not know when I'll do it.

Sounds like you're going to do it so, thanks in advance!
There's no rush, it's just it could become quite a nuisance if I'd want to move many torrents in the future. (Or become plagued by empty folders for removed files if I forget about this issue.)

Hi!

Would you be interested in fixing the lack of root folder issue with imported torrents? (If you're bored again sometime. :) )

If I'm not mistaken it's not much different: The deepest level of the save path need to be compared to the torrent name from the .torrent. If it's an exact match that part needs to be deleted from the path and the "qBt-hasRootFolder" value changed to 1.

(Some might not be caught with special characters and such, but I expect those would be few and far between. An accidental match with the torrent name feels even less likely...)

Here's how I solved the Access is Denied qbittorrent error for torrents migrated from uTorrent to qBittorrent

I used bt2qbt_v1.18 (rumanzo/bt2qbt) to successfully migrate torrents, torrent stats (dates and ratios, but not global stats) from uTorrent 3.5.5 to qBittorrent 4.6.0 64-bit on Windows 10

I did however run into the dreaded Access is Denied qbittorrent error on some torrents after Force recheck.
In all of these torrents, I had selected a few files for download and set Priority of others as "do not download".

All of these have the uTorrent .dat part file in their folder as well

Even after changing the owner of these folders to EVERYONE under Properties > Security, I was not able to get rid of the error.

Then, I saw this comment on GitHub:
"I already met this problem, and there was the fact that utorrent puts files / folders in read-only mode, so they cannot be updated (overwritten). Check well if the files / folders are not set to write restrictions."
https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorr ... 1497895822

So, I checked and sure enough, the files in question were set to Read-only mode.

To change the Read-only attribute:
Simply locate the File/Folder > Right-Click > Properties > General Tab > uncheck Read-only (under Attributes) > Click OK

This solved the problem for me.

Now, all the torrents are okay. Just wanted to put this out there for anyone who might also be interested.
