qBitTorrent does not append downloads

Post by Shmong »

Hi guys!
I have a downloaded torrent-folder with a lots of wasted space. Each month the torrent renewing and updating with the new files. When i trying to choose the folder to download, qBitTorrent does not start hashcheck, it's just starting a new download, to another folder. He's creating new folder in "default download folder", and if i trying to move my directory here, it's creating new folder in "My Documents"... anywhere, but he does not verify the hash! I've tried many ways to deal with this problem, but it's hopeless.

Build 3.1.11, OS: 2012 Server, Datacenter.

Libtorrent does not support "mutable" torrents. http://www.bittorrent.org/beps/bep_0039.html

So every "renewed" payload is a different torrent ID.

Try selecting one folder up when telling qbt where to save.
qbt creates a folder for multifile torrents. So on the second torrent you should not select the folder that got created by the first folder. You should select one folder up.

I will try to find out when this torrent reach ratio ~1.0, because i think the setting file was damaged with power surge shutdown. The folder qBit is trying to save.... it's folder from the previous settings.
