dbunder Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 Using the most current 1.5.1 beta, and I've noticed that when I upload torrents to various sites and label them before I start seeding, they do not get moved to the label's directory. It worked just fine in 1.5 but seems to be broken in the beta. The torrents and data stay in my default torrent directory instead of being moved to the appropriate place on the filesystem. Is this a known bug? Been using the beta for about three days now and it has exhibited this behaviour on every upload I've done - and yes, I've been keeping track. The label's directories *do* exist, so that can't be the issue.Just looking for a bit of insight on why this feature seems to be broken.Thanks for any comments.

Firon Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 It only gets moved when the download finishes. If you were to add a torrent with the data already complete, you'd have to set the label before it hash checked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbunder Posted May 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 That's what I've been doing, and no go. I found a workaround, however. It's a bit of a pain in the a$$, but it works.Go into your uTorrent, and for each file that hasn't moved, choose to delete it from your list and delete its torrent file. Then go to the site you uploaded that torrent to, and redownload that torrent file. In the window you get, choose "start download" and "open for seeding", give it the appropriate label, and it will be moved to the right place on your drive.It's just upon initial upload, it's not being moved. Is the hash checked before or after the new torrent window comes up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbunder Posted May 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 Okay. Hmm...Well, here's exactly what's happening when I up a torrent to this particular site:1. I make the torrent file using uTorrent2. I enter the info for the torrent on the website3. I move the torrent data to my unfinished torrent directory4. When I click through on the site I'm upping to, it gets that data, and brings me to a new screen. On that screen, it sends me back a torrent file I'm to download and start the torrent seeding process with. 5. I download that, uTorrent automatically opens it, I check "Start Torrent" and "Open for Seeding", give it a label then hit the OK button.6. Torrent starts seeding successfully, but the torrent data does not moved to the label's directory. It stays in the unfinished torrent directory, but it still successfully seeds. If I want it to be moved to the label's directory, I have to delete the torrent file and the torrent from uTorrent, and redownload the torrent from the site. Then it is moved.That's precisely, step by step, what happens when I upload to this particular site. Is uTorrent acting how it should be, or is it skipping over moving the torrent data to the appropriate directory the first time the torrent is sent to me? I can PM you the tracker I'm talking about, even give an invite if you don't have an account there, and you can test it yourself if uTorrent is acting oddly and you want to see it yourself.

Firon Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 because you used open for seeding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbunder Posted May 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 If I use open for seeding in a non-beta 1.5, what I'm running now, it exhibits the appropriate behaviour. The beta does not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
