Hello.

chaky@ubuntu:~$ ktorrent -v
Qt: 3.3.7
KDE: 3.5.7
KTorrent: 2.2dev-2007-06-10

Some times when I shutdown ktorrent, while downloading some torrents or maybe they are in STOP state, and then rerun ktorrent, all my torrents are missing from ktorrent. That would not be a problem, you can always continue half-downloaded torrent, but when I add same .torrent in ktorrent, ktorrent does not find half downloaded files in download directory, but it just starts from zero.

Also, if I half download torrent with some other client, link rtorrent or Azureus and later i decide to continue with ktorrent, ktorrent starts from zero. Why is that?

This has started to happen from 2.2beta1 and later on in SVN versions.

If someone can take a look. Thanks in advance.

This has been fixed after the latest snapshot was created.

Thank. I've downloaded 2.2rc1 and running it now. Problem with not finding torrents in download directory is fixed, but the other one is not. The other one is when I shutdown Ktorrent, and re-run it again, all torrents from a list are missing :-(

Euhm, which location did you choose to store the temporary files ?

Put it somewhere else, that probably gets cleaned up every time you reboot. And you don't want to lose all the information about the torrents you are downloading.
