Auto-load torrent behaviour?

[Discosis]

Can someone please shed some light on the auto-load behaviour?

I have uTorrent set to watch a directory shared from my Linux box via Samba, so that I can place .torrents there when I'm not at home and they can start downloading immediately.

When I place the torrents there (via SCP into the Linux box and then mv'ing it into place in the shared directory), uTorrent doesn't seem to pick them up. However, when I download and save a file there on the same machine that uTorrent is running on, it picks up the file immediately.

Am I missing something here... or does uTorrent need some kind of setting to define how often it should check the contents of the auto-load directory?

Only a suggestion: tried to copy the files into the autoload folder of utorrent (not moving them)?

Actually I hadn't thought that it might be an issue with using mv vs cp, so I thought I should give it a shot and check some results.

On a single file...

- Using cp, utorrent failed to notice the new file.

- Using mv, it picked it up a-ok.

But then I decided to try 3 files at once...

- Using cp, utorrent again failed to notice the new files.

- This time, using mv, it didn't notice them again.

Then I thought I should try a single file again...

- cp: didn't notice the new file.

- mv: again, didn't notice the new file.

... so not entirely conclusive, nor does it instill much faith. Good thought tho!

Anyone got any ideas about what's going on? Is there some additional debugging I can do to help out? Any other tests I can run?

I have the same problem with uTorrent but found a curiosity:

If I run it from registry on windows start, uTorrent ignores autoload...

If I run it by hand doubleclicking, uTorrent seems to autoload correctly even if I copy .torrents via lan from other computer...

Maybe a Bug???
