Forgot your password? By Guest Dino, July 6, in Troubleshooting. All of my torrents have vanished from Bittorrent. They are all still in my download folder, but bittorrent is completely empty. I had the same problem. Windows crashed and once I recovered, Bittorrent was "empty.
I was able to reload most of them, but many were gone forever. It took hours to repair. The most frustrating aspect was that most of the torrent files that were lost were ones that I was seeding; I had to go back to torrent sites, reload the torrent file and relocate every file.
Outside of a full system restore, can anyone suggest a way to back up Bittorrent to make recovery easier? Any suggestions will be appreciated. Now, when I tried to seed my torrents, all finished for weeks, I see that BitTorrent reports that all are unfinished, and clearly, no way to get them back, since noone is seeding them. I had my concerns posted in another thread here, but my posts deleted and the topic closed. I have to switch to another piece of software that doesn't mess things so badly.
The migration guide in the documentation section of our site gives step by step for getting them back in. I think the problem is not the fault of BitTorrent but that despite having proper BitTorrent configuration as in the documentation you referenced , if the OS crashes while BitTorrent is running, many of the.
To recover without the. Miro99s How about updating to v3. Hi okeatime, I checked the latest version of the qBittorrent as the first step I did. Here is what I get:. Done Building dependency tree Reading state information Done qbittorrent is already the newest version 3. And the result was: "qbittorrent is already the newest version 3.
I also have the same issue with 3. I tried to revert 3. Upgrading to 3. I have made a separate issue for that here. Also ran into this problem Ubuntu Just like others I had some missing torrents, multiple failures to resume in the logs, etc. A couple of QB restarts showed obvious major issues: being a sysadmin I decided to dig in. Full credit to user "vtmargaryan" above, he's correct - the problem isn't qbittorrent per se, it's libtorrent-rasterbar, or at least the way QB interfaces with it.
I tested installing QB 3. Eventual success and normal operations were only resumed by downgrading and apt mark holding the following two packages:. Whilst mucking about with this my settings and transfer lists were well and truly trashed unfortunately, although I was due for a torrent clear up anyway so it didn't really bother me - if I was one of the other people here with several thousand loaded torrents I would not have been best pleased however.
Primary suspicion would be libtorrent not writing out the checksums correctly for the resume list but, hey, that's above my pay grade, the devs will have to get to the bottom of this. Also thanks guys for the software - been an avid user for many years. A project this complex is always going to bug out every now and then but qbittorrent is a keeper. Keep up the excellent work Thanks for the fix. Hopefully the team can work it out so it is more of a permanent solution for others. A little note on 3.
For the time being, I will be downgrading to 3. I'm on a private tracker and the inability to maintain my share ratio negatively affects my ability to download, as well as my status. Just wanted to report I have the same problem in Windows with latest 3.
Indeed I'm using a custom download folder. Besides, for some reason, when I add again the same file to download, if I use magnet link it restarts from scratch. With torrent, checksum is verified and I can resume from wherever I was before the previous closure of the program.
And that's why I decided to clearly say in the last few releases that libtorrent 1. And the same goes for the PPA. Yakkety ppa builds fail because I try to use 1.
I am not saying that libtorrent 1. And even though they have made 2 official releases they aren't as stable as the 1. For god sakes, after 1. PS: I am really sorry that qbt craps out on you and destroys your progress. The dev team is spread thin. And unless someone from the dev team starts consistently getting the same behavior, a fix isn't imminent.
Unless someone else pinpoints exactly why it happens in the meantime. PS2: Moving files outside qbt and then opening qbt and telling it to look elsewhere is a recipe for disaster.
Libtorrent doesn't give us fine-grained control over this, so any such move may result in data overwrite due to race? And any libtorrent major version may change its behavior on this. Time permitting, I'll try and dig into this a little bit more - I've been experimenting with building qbt on Yakkety myself and have initially run into the same issues as you. Regarding your second postscript, I had never actually thought about it that way. You're right of course but believe it or not for years I'd routinely "manage" torrents sometimes by deleting or moving the actual downloaded files around in the file manager or terminal and then after an eventual reboot and qbt restart I'd just see which entries showed up as "files missing" and then either delete or update the torrent as appropriate.
Worked perfectly until recently, perhaps more by accident than design it seems On windows 10 now, and QB 3. Have been using QB the last 6 months or so - but this issue started just a couple of days back Can someone help please, thanks! You mention 2 qbt versions? Why this is happening? I plan to investigate the problem on these holidays.
Wait until session is paused when saving resume data Add queue repair code …. This is a bit adjusted code created by nxd4, who shared it in issue qbittorrent The code prevents queue overwrites. Compiling from source to see if it is present in more recent versions as well. Magnet Link is already in download list ,but not show! I'm also experiencing this problem. I have 3. The fix would be for qBittorrent to always do a Save Resume before quitting. So, I think that there are two or more components: newly added torrents that haven't been Resume Saved disappear another process that lead to torrents disappearing and maybe another too Torrents Deletion Up on Program Exit Torrents disappear when I close qBittorrent Sign up for free to subscribe to this conversation on GitHub.

Before I upgraded, when I selected a torrent magnet from a site, a dialog box would appear while the system loaded the torrent information.
Once the information was populated I could select Ok and the system would add it to my list of torrents in the main window and begin downloading. Now, when I click on the magnet, no dialog box appears, nothing gets added to the list in my main window, and nothing gets downloaded. However, if I select the magnet for the same torrent again, I get the message that "The torrent you are trying to add is already in the list of torrents.
I uninstalled BitTorrent, purged all torrents and reinstalled, bit I still get the same result. It hasn't worked for over a week now.
