A (very) ugly bug on Windows using magnet links with NTFS mount points...
Posted: Tue Jan 17, 2012 8:09 am
At home, I have folder d:\net\download which points to another hard drive (more info here). d:\net\download folder is the default folder for downloading applications such as qbitorrent.
If I download .torrent file, everything works ok, but if I start download using magnet links, qbittorrent somehow manages to unmount NTFS mount point (d:\net\download folder) which is not ok.
I tried with utorrent, and problem do not exist.
At the moment, I do not use magnet links, but thepiratebay plans sometime in the future to provide magnet links only, and maybe other tracker will follow.
Sorry for bad english.
