Changing download location and then re-check causes status to go to 0%

[mgray]

Once the torrent is done, I like to change the folder its in but I want to keep seeding. Problem is, when I reset the download location and force a re-check the status goes from 100% to most of the time 0%, sometimes any amount between 0-100%. Nothing changes, nothing is deleted, all I do is move the folder. So why does it change from 100% and prevent me from seeding? I dont want to have to download more than once just to keep seeding.

Thanks

You pointed it to the wrong folder.

You would think, but no, I've made sure. Its the proper folder containing all the files.

And verifying by right click "open containing folder" pops up the expected folder?

[mgray]

Yeah.....and its not always 0% but sometimes after the move goes to 97% or 85% and I'm not altering any files. Its just music thats being copied into iTunes.

Music + itunes = re-tagged files.

Blame itunes.

[jewelisheaven]

Tell it to not re-tag files in your download folder.

[Firon]

iTunes retags all files. Do not use iTunes, or find a way to disable this "feature."

Right on thanks guys, that makes sense. Didn't know a retag would cuase everything to go outa wack. I guess thats how precise torrents are when checking contents

They are byte-for-byte duplicates of the source Be sure to thank those dedicated admins above in the official appreciation thread. You have no idea the flack they get for doing what they do. A simple thank you may go a long way in ensuring they don't end up dead one day soon from too much stress <3 the uT admins.
