qBittorrent doesn't check already downloaded torrents properly

This only happens if you download the torrent to a different folder the second time. qBittorrent only detectx existing files if you choose the exact same save path.

I'm doing this, saving at the exact same path. Maybe the problem is that qBittorrent download the file to a different folder and just when the transfer is finished it moves the files do the right destination.
If it is, qBittorrent should verify for the file in the destination directory before download.

Well, this is exactly what's happening, I set a temporary folder for download and qBittorrent was lookin for files in there. When I unchecked this option things start working.

You're right, this is a bug then. I will address it soon.

I committed a workaround for this because this is actually caused by a lack of feature (or bug) in libtorrent.

By the way... recheck problem is still not solved. So I'm forced to use another bittorrent client (that is worse but less buggy). I have many torrents that I downloaded on Windows and I want to seed them. When checking some files qBittorrent stops sometimes at 0%, sometimes at about 20% or 85% (different numbers) and starts downloading them! When i use 'another bittorrent client', the same files are checked well to 100% and start seeding

qBittorrent does not handle torrent checking, this is achieved by libtorrent. Specify in your bug report that you are using a Windows file system on a Linux OS (and specify which file system, NTFS?)

Actually, there is one thing you could do.
Some torrents have, for example, three files. In other bittorrent clients file list just has three files. But in qBittorrent there is also a parent directory that has these three files inside. So when you select some download directory, the files are saved to the directory (which is named like the torrent title) inside the specified directory.
Sorry, I never had talent to explain. So here's an example:
You have torrent with three files 'a.a', 'b.b', 'c.c' and title 'aabbcc'. You wanna save the files to '/dir/blah/'
So when using qBittorrent, the files become '/dir/blah/aabbcc/a.a', '/dir/blah/aabbcc/b.b', '/dir/blah/aabbcc/c.c'.
In other clients they are '/dir/blah/a.a', '/dir/blah/b.b', '/dir/blah/c.c'.
The idea: When a torrent has one directory at root level, the program should just remove it and put the files one level higher.

> In other clients they are '/dir/blah/a.a', '/dir/blah/b.b', '/dir/blah/c.c'.

I doubt this is true. What client does that? I know transmission, Vuze do not.

Ehm... uTorrent.
Anyway, this is really useful
