Stalled/Errored torrents

[Gmac]

Hi. I'm new here and not the most savvy when it comes to the nuts and bolts lingo of programming , so please bear with me and if you think you can help me, please explain it like I'm a five year old. Walk me through it, step by step.

Somewhere in the last 24-48 hours, qBittorrent began to stall any unfinished downloads and does the same with any new downloads I add. Anything finished remains as status completed but will not seed or que for seed. I was running the previous version as I tend to wait to update to the latest version until any bigger jobs are finished downloading. I have updated to the latest version and also downgraded to a few different older builds in an attempt to fix the issue but nothing has worked. In the process, one larger job that was 90+% completed started showing as errored and won't allow me to complete a recheck of the torrent as it zeros out before 2%, although the majority of the files are in the destination folder.

A search inquiry on the forum hasn't revealed much on this issue so far and the little bit of information I found and could understand has not worked. I have reinstalled the current version and running it in default mode. O/S is Windows 10, Firefox browser and I am not using a VPN. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Which version of qBT are you using, and what precisely are the errors?

I'm using v4.1.1. Rolling back to older versions was unsuccessful.

An hour or so after posting, my downloads started working again and finished. The one that was showing as 'Errored" in the status column successfully completed the check action and also finished downloading.

I currently have four torrents incoming, each showing as stalled in the status column at approximately 20%, 70%, 60% and 0% respectively.  All are decently seeded and occasionally try to startup again but they only run for a few seconds or so and the speeds are horrendously slow compared to what I'm used to. I have tried to use the Force Resume function but with zero success. When they try to start and ultimately stall again I get an I/O Error popup message that just says "An I/O Error occurred on torrent 'x'." without any information as to what the error is. Any attempt to click on the popup simply removes it from the screen.....I wish I had more information to share.

Change your download directories.
I had same issue, my HDD letter changed and wasn't available so it was erroring everything since it had no place to download to.
If that doesn't work just uninstall and reinstall, it takes like 60 secs to do.

Thanks, I appreciate it. I actually got it working. Though not the same as yours, it WAS a HDD issue.....Don't really want to say too much but...I feel a little stupid, lol!

Sounds like an unplugged external thing to me lol, had that happen before .
I have my downloading to an external drive since that's where i am storing them, it saves time when i move the files from complete to wherever.
