c4m Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 I get this prompt when I have the files in the "/user/completed" folder for a torrent. Is there a way to remove the prompt and always use the existing files, i.e seed the torrent with the existing data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 I know it was added for people who re-add torrents. Funny thing, I never get it popping up I think an option to remember this setting would be useful. This should go in Feature Requests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Alderaan Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 This pop-up ONLY appears if you use a separate Downloads and Completed folder and you add a torrent (which by default would start downloading in the downloads folder) of which the files already exist in the completed folder.Now read that pop-up text again and you'll understand the question. I think it is unwise to make a default action for this because every time when this happens it depends on the circumstances what you want to do.* You could have forgotten you already downloaded this and you want to skip it.* You want to re-seed.* It might be a different file (or directory) with the same name (always a risk but for some people their Completed folder is the final destination of all their downloads and the thus the chances of accidental duplicate file/foldernames increases)Tip: If you want to quickly re-seed a lot of torrents without this pop-up I suggest you change your Downloads folder to the path of your regular Completed folder. Start all the Torrents (there won't be a pop-ups now). And change the Downloads folder back to your regular one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 You forgot the other precursor for it to pop up?I tried just now, and you MUST have "always show dialog on manual add" disabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c4m Posted April 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 all i needed to do was not use a temporary/incomplete folder and the popup does not appear anymore. Ty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
