Symbolic Links in Save Paths
Posted: Mon Aug 27, 2012 9:49 pm
Hi,
I'm currently migrating my torrents from uTorrent and I've run into a bit of a problem. I use labels with symbolic links to organize my files. Basically, with the label appended to the save path, it will save it to the symbolic link which will put the actual file wherever I want it to be. Though I haven't yet tested this with a new torrent, I assume it will work the same way.
Now to the point: for old torrents that I am trying to seed, I cannot get the torrents to hash check if I have the symbolic link in the save path for the torrent. When I set it, it will simply use the file path that the symbolic link directs to rather than the hard link itself. It's very important to me to be keep the hard link in the file path because I move my actual files around a lot and, to keep seeding, all I have to do is adjust the symbolic links accordingly. Without being able to do this, I'd have to manually reset the location of my torrents (almost 2000 and counting) whenever I need to move files in order to keep seeding. Are there any workarounds so that I can keep the symbolic links in the file path of seeding torrents?
Thanks for your help
p.s. I'm running Windows 7 Home Edition 64bit and qBittorrent v3.0.0
