conquerist Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 Version:uTorrent 3.4.2 build 34537, Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bitObserved behavior:When starting a torrent where one (or more) of the destination files is an NTFS symbolic link, the torrent rechecks to 100%, yet fails to start seeding. The error message is "Error: files missing from job".Expected behavior:Torrent should start seeding. Steps to reproduce:E.g. on the desktop, create two folders: "link" and "target".In the "target" folder, create a non-empty file, e.g. "file.txt" with content "asdf".In uTorrent click on "Create New Torrent", click on "Add File", and select "file.txt" in the "target" folder.Delete the newly created torrent from uTorrent's torrent list.Create a symlink that points to the file from step 2, e.g. by opening an elevated command prompt, changing the directory to the desktop, and running "mklink link\file.txt ..\target\file.txt"Add the torrent from step 3 to uTorrent and choose the "link" folder as download location.Perform a force recheck on the torrent. Now the status should be "Finished".Start the storrent. Now the status should be "Error: files missing from job." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
