New Ubuntu PPA version broken?
Posted: Sat Apr 13, 2013 2:31 am
What is the version in ubuntu PPA, it seems to be broken?
Tried upgrading today (from 3.08) only to find the strange version that doesn't work with the litorrent-rasterbar 7:
OK, i downgraded to ubuntu stock libtorrent 6 and after starting qbittorrent it started to wreak havoc on my (seeding) torrents, had to kill the process to stop it. 7GB of files moved or copied to "unfinished" folder 
Then i checked the forums and found this thread: http://qbforums.shiki.hu/index.php?topic=1843.0
Installed both the qbittorrent and libtorrent from suggested PPA.
Only to found out that after first start 30+ GB of seeding files that are read only got preallocated again in a couple of seconds in unfinished folder until the disk space ran out.
Cleaned all the mess, restored ~/.config/qBittorrent/ from yesterdays backup. And after starting it again, still the same 40 GB of files were paused on 0%, had to manually recheck. Seems to be working fine now.
And now the question: where the fu*k does qbittorrent keep info about finished/unfinished torrents?
Pardon my language, I'm a bit upset after spending quite some time fixing the "upgrade"
Obviously, restoring ~/.config/qBittorrent/ is not enough since still the same files were paused and needed manual recheck.
