I couldn't make another post on the same day because of the post restrictions. So I added edited the orignal post to answer your questions. Would still like to see if there is a solution to my problem.
Start new topic. Recommended Posts. KoolMom Posted July 23, Posted July 23, I don't see a trigger of why some are being moved and some aren't. Any help appreciated. A new dialog will pop up asking you where to download your torrent file to. Navigate to the new location and just click Select Folder. You may have to wait a little bit if a large amount of data has to be transferred over to the new location. Step 3 : Now that the files have been moved, you need to start up the download again.
Simply right-click on the torrent again and choose Start. The download will continue from whatever percentage it had already completed and download the rest.
This can save a significant amount of bandwidth compared to starting over again, especially for very large torrents. The process is exactly the same for Mac users running OS X.
Just stop the download, then right-click on the torrent and set the new download location. The files will automatically be moved to the new location, just like in Windows. Mr-Personality what version of qBittorrent are you currently using?
Currently qBittorrent can manage only one Temp folder for all torrents and you can't change it with "Set location". I agree that this is inconvenient, so I planned to change it as soon as I have time to finish this job. All I'm trying to do is move everything to a different drive - there should be some easy way to do this. All it would take is:. This is strange. I recently tried using "Set location" to move individual files to a new location and it didn't work, it only moved them after completion.
But today I tried selecting ALL then doing the same thing, and it started moving them! In case it helps anyone else, here's what I did to get qBittorrent to cleanly recognize files that have been relocated:. Pause all torrents that are to be moved so that they are in "Completed" or "Paused" state. You need to do this to prevent qBittorrent from immediately trying to redownload anything it can't find.
Shut down qBittorrent, be sure to wait for it to exit cleanly. Since I use qbittorrent-nox on a headless server, I just waited for the systemctl stop qbittorrent command to return. Probably on Windows or similar it's enough to check that the process does not appear in process manager. Do the "Set Location" operation and point to the new location. In my case I actually wasn't even moving the files. I was switching from mergerfs to aufs. So in step 3 above I actually was just unmounting mergerfs.
God this thread is a trainwreck. I had a heart attack midway through reading it and thought I had lost terrabytes of data.. Anyways, changing the location of the data given a torrent is a pretty standard feature for clients nowadays. I was very surprised to find qbittorrent is literally UNABLE to handle the case of moved data even worse considering that in my case I didn't actually move any data, the drive letter simply got reassigned without having to resort to literally deleting and re-adding the torrents en masse.
It's also sad considering I was actually interested in the stats provided for individual torrents which got lost because of this issue.
You could at least describe in detail what exactly happened in your case. Starting with the fact that when you launched the app after changing the drive letter you should have seen your torrents in the "Missing Files" state. What happened next? How did you try to fix it? Also, information about the version of the application, libraries, OS, etc.
Next I tried to use "Set Location" as I assumed it did what it said it would do, just change the location and not move files. If the reason that this isn't handled yet is because it is meant to be used exclusively to move the files from qbittorrent and not just pointing it to the files then langbakk was absolutely right in saying it's ambiguous, I'd even say it's downright misleading at that point.
It did nothing. After using it, if I were to check if it had worked by using "Open containing folder", it would just re-open the old path again which now pointed to completely unrelated data. I tried pausing, unpausing the torrents before and after using "Set Location" but it just wasn't possible to make it work.
I had to resort to deleting the torrents and adding them back. I'm experiencing the same behavior on qBittorrent client v 4. I had moved originally from Transmission because it tended to lock up too easily, on my system at least, to uTorrent, which was still a little buggy in my opinion, and settled on qBittorrent due to it being open source, seemed to be a bit more stable, and was generally easier for me to deal with.
I had to move my partial torrents to a new drive location due to space considerations, same as several others mentioned in previous comments, and noticed that moving files from within the program seemed to take a good bit longer than just doing a typical file system copy or move, so I had manually relocated them. Previously, I had moved incomplete torrents, and then set the location, which it successfully found, and resumed the torrent download, after it automatically re-checked them.
Wish I could keep track of the exact steps I took before, but in my defense, I wasn't having problems with the program behavior at that point, so I didn't think to pay attention. I'm experiencing the same thing others have mentioned Is there something I can do for a workaround?
I have terabytes of files which I cannot simply re-download due to the massive amount of time invested, especially considering the files, and partial files are already on my drive.
I simply added the previous file path back, quit and restarted the program, and it found them. Didn't even require a re-check. I suppose someone could do something similar with an alias or hard link to the new location. Maybe this behavior could be looked at to see if the program could be tweaked to more predictably handle people relocating their files?
It is a minor thing, but maybe "Set location Another suggestion, if I may, hopefully it wouldn't take much, but a progress and percentage bar on file moving would be helpful.
As is, I'm not sure how long I need to wait, before being able to do something else. GeekElectro , should fix it. Skip to content. Star New issue. Jump to bottom. Copy link. And how, exactly, am I supposed to move files around after downloading them? Same problem as jimbo1qaz.
Wasting bandwidth and time having to force recheck Ideally, "Set location" should check if the selected file has the same hash as the target file. If not, check in the selected path if there exists a file having the same name as the target file. If not, notify the user that it couldn't find an existing file, and ask the user whether to start downloading.
