Hello,
I have lent an external drive to a friend. The drive has a lot of downloads - finished and not finished. When I start QB, i naturally get I/O errors. The strange thing is that I have them for another drive which is connected. Some of the torrents even start anew even though they are completed. I cannot possibly manually delete hundreds of torrents like in the previous sentence. What should I do.
Another problem is the the client starts too slow. I have been thinking to migrate to Tixati, but I love QB!
Please, help!
Thank you.

Re: I/O error

Did you get these IO errors before you lent it to said friend?
> I/O Errors
Check the SMART data, just in case.
1) Open a terminal
2) sudo smartctl -a /dev/sdX
X = portable drive's letter, Linux auto-assigns it.
If you have one drive in your PC, then it will /dev/sdb.
Two drives and this is the third? /dev/sdc. And so on.
Check the "reallocated sectors" and things like that in the output.

Then do this, then what I said before:
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install smartmontools
$ sudo apt-get update
