Re-download instead of recheck

[sirio81]

Hi I'm running qbittorrent 3.1.10 on debian jessie.
I'm saving the torrent on a nas that is mounted on /media/torrent.

I turned off my laptop.
I restarted the laptop but I forgot to mount the nas and opened qbittorrent.
All torrent are shown in pause with the "red icon".

Ten I close qbittorrent, mount the nas and open qbittorren again.
At this point I start one of the torrents for seeding it (no need to download).
I expect qbittorrent to recheck the file but, instead, it start download it again.
I notice anyway that the file I'm trying to seed is of the right size (I mean, it hasn't been removed/truncated).

Code: Select all

du -sh /media/torrent/myfile
5.7G

What do you think about it?

Always force re-check after doing file system mount changes to fix the "red icon" errors. Otherwise torrent clients would normally get confused and start downloading again. Btw, even if the file size is still the same, it doesn't mean the file is fully downloaded. It could just be that qBit allocated that space (with random garbage data) that it will slowly fill up with the actual file as it's being downloaded.
