Missing Files Error when resuming QB and have multiple torrents seeding from the same files
Posted: Wed Apr 05, 2023 10:34 pm
Once in a while qBittorrent has to resume and recheck all my torrents (power outages etc)
When this happens I often get errors on some of my torrents. I've finally narrowed it down to a specific scenario:
Multiple torrents, cross seeding from the same source files, one or more may check fine, but sometimes, not every time, one will fail with a "Missing Files" error. The worst part is when this happens there is no way to get it to check the files again, I end up moving the files from the destination (linked to category) back to the download folder, Recheck from there and then QB moves them back again to the category folder.
So two questions:
1. Is there any way to prevent this failure? I suspect it's contention when two torrents are trying to check against the same physical file but not sure.
2. When I get a "Missing Files" error is there any way to re-check the torrent without moving the files around?
