"Missing Files" after installing a new disk
Posted: Tue Apr 16, 2024 1:03 am
Qbittorrent v4.6.4.
I'm experiencing a strange problem after recently replacing my hard disk. The paths for the 'Downloads' folders are set as follows "D:\qbittorrentnew\Downloading Files" and "D:\qbittorrentnew\Downloaded Files".
When qbittorrent starts, some of the torrents are marked as having "Missing Files". They are definitely in the "Downloaded Files" directory, but even after doing a "Set Location..." and then a "Force Recheck" it physically starts to download them again putting the new downloads in "D:\Bittorrent\qbittorrent\Downloading Files" and then "D:\Bittorrent\qbittorrent\Downloaded Files" - 2 directories it created itself !! This directory is specified nowhere in the settings and is in fact an old directory structure from some time ago on the old disk.
Any idea what's occurring ?? Thanks.
