Hello. Is there a way to make the ScanFolder plug in scan the folder less frequently? I have it set to scan my Downloads folder and often when I am downloading torrents it tries to pick them up instantaneously before they are fully downloaded and I get an error. If I could make it scan every 5 seconds or something this problem would almost certainly go away.

Thanks in advance!

ScanFolder plugin is using KDE class for scanning directories and currently it's not possible to adjust scanning frequency.

But, you shouldn't be seeing this error. I think I fixed this a long time ago. What version are you running?

Version 2.1beta

I got the same problem. I have the Scanfolder shared with Samba so I can dl .torrent files with m$ boxes. The error is:

"File *.torrent is not readable"

It does end up adding the torrent though. Click OK and it works fine...

Good work on this app!! Its the only one this linux n00b has found to work reliably. thank u!

musikmann: version?

ktorrent 2.0.3, fc5, samba 3.0.23c, kde 3.5.5, kernel 2.6.18

Thanks for the quick reply!

You need to try the latest 2.1rc1, I think this bug is already fixed.

Ok, I'll try it. Thanks for your hard work and everything! Keep it up you have a great app here!

This bug is not fixed.

I'm using 2.1 on Ubuntu Edgy(6.10) and get this error message all the time.
"An error occurred while loading the torrent. The torrent is probably corrupt or is not a torrent file."

But when I open the torrent in Ktorrent manually it work faultlessly.

I am having the same problem with 2.1 on Kubuntu Feisty. I love KTorrent, but this continues to happen, mainly when the torrent file is slow to download.

Ktorrent is trying to pick it up immediately because the error pops up even before the torrent was completed based on the firefox download manager (actually download status bar extension).

We need to find a way to see if an other process has the file open for writing.

Can you do whatever command 'fuser' does?

I have gone with a different approach, KT now checks if a file is syntactically correct (so probably not fully downloaded), if it is we load it, if it isn't we try again in 10 seconds.
