My computer recently Blue Screened causing qBittorrent to lose all the data on my torrents. I followed a guide online for re-adding the torrents to qBittorrent (renaming the qBittorrent-resume.ini.bak file in Appdata) , which worked correctly, only requiring me to relocate the files.
However now that qBittorent has checked my files, I am unable to seed them. Here's some information that may help:
All of the torrents that I recovered from the Appdata folder say "Tracker not contacted yet".
When I attempt to resume the files, they collect some data regarding the number of seeders, and then immediately switch back from Seeding --> Completed
After attempting to resume, the tracker now states that it is "Working", however resuming the torrents causes it to again return to the Completed state after gathering tracker data
qBittorrent still processes new torrents correctly. In other words torrents that I did not recover from Appdata, will both download and seed correctly.
I figure I messed something up when I changed the files in the Appdata folder.
