Duskeren Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 Hi allIm having a problem with utorrent 1.8 using the feature "move completed downloads to:" and then appending the label as a dir.Problem is, after my torrent completes downloading, it gets moved completely to the new dir, then if i take the same .torrent file, upload it to another tracker and then downloads it to seed from the new dir, then it hashchecks the files and THEN all of sudden utorrent moves part of the dir to the previous dir?!like:tempdir for downloading: c:\downloads\after completion: c:\downloads\*label-here*download torrent from tracker-1 to tempdir. files get moved to completed-dir. i upload the same .torrent file to new tracker, downloads it again (private tracker, so need to redownload torrent coz passkey gets added). Sets it to use the files in complete dir. hashcheck 100%. starts seeding--- 5 sek after part of the files gets moved back to tempdir without a reason.and some of the times textfiles (read: .nfo's) dont pass hashcheck after utorrent moves them for some reason. so it might be two problems.and oh yeah, i add the torrent using commandline. just doing:utorrent.exe /directory "c:\downloads\*lable-here*" "c:\torrent-file.torrent"but if i start it by just doing:utorrent.exe "c:\torrent-file.torrent"and then disable hashchecking in the gui, then there aint no problem (still the textfiles might be bad, but just like 1 out of 10).is there a solution for this, or did i stumple upon a bug?

Firon Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Failing hashchecks randomly might indicate RAM problems, or an unstable overclock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duskeren Posted September 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Problem is on both my home PC and a rented dedicated server. None of them is overclocked, and recently checked my own RAM. No problems.Again, unstable overclocks or bad rams wouldnt make utorrent move files back from the new directory, and thats the biggest problem here :-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlefire Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 If you have append label to directory in the Preferences, I don't think you should specify LABEL in the /DIRECTORY launch argument... But if files fail hashcheck, they aren't the same.. specifically the NFO makes sense... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duskeren Posted September 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Well it starts oout hashchecking in the right folder. But right after it completes hashchecking, for some reason, some of the files is moved back to the original folder. So guess i got the Label and Directory thing right, or it wouldnt complete hashchecking the files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 It would only move files back if the hashcheck failed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duskeren Posted September 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Well, it reports as being 100% complete and the torrent even starts seeding. Then after some sec, the files moves back. So nothing have been changed. If i start the torrent from GUI (skipping hashcheck) then it is all fine no problem. So my guess is that there is a problem somewhere in utorrent when hashchecking files with another torrent than the original from the new dir. coz after you do that, some files gets moved back. Or would it be because the hashchecking locks the files, and then utorrent moves them back as they arrent accessible by the original torrent, and sees them as corrupted? (if so, it would be AWESOME with a command line arg to skip haschecking... But that prolly has been asked for many times already). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Do you see this same behavior in 1.8.1?And what really concerns me is the text files failing the hashcheck. WHen they do so, look at the Files tab, and see what piece is shared with another file. Easiest way to do so is enable the First Piece column and sort by that.

Duskeren Posted September 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Tried 1.8.1, still same problem.Think the problem with the textfiles is the same as the others, and it just happened to be those files.Anyways think i got it. It only happens if ther original torrents is actively seeding the files, and then the new torrent starts hashchecking them (thus locking the files). Then utorrent just sees them as locked/dead/corrupted/whatever, and moves them back to the original folder. Seems like a logical thing to do... And if there aint an active seeding of the files going on, no problems at all. It all works without a problem.So two ways of fixing... Having utorrent not moving the files back when they get locked, or put a commandline arg in the app to skip hashchecking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koen Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 It would be nice to be able to skip hashcheck. it's really buggin me in a lot of ways. I have to agree with Duskeren. Same goes when adding a huge torrent..Koen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlefire Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 On adding the torrent if you can't find that option, you need to look harder.Aside from the fact your "problem" is unrelated. If you want to make a suggestion or report a bug choose a better choice next time. Or if you don't want to search, chance making your own thread... hope it's not a duplicate or it will be trashed.

Duskeren Posted November 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 thelittlefire, my guess is that "koen" got the same problem as me when adding torrents from commandline (where there is no skip-hashcheck function). Im sure that no matter how hard he tries to find it, its not there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
