I can't restore old torrents

Post by erhan9049 »

Hello,

I reinstalled the operating system of my seedbox(Orange Pi Zero, Armbian).

I have the downloaded files in the same folders. I also overwrote the files in /var/lib/deluge/.config/deluge/ with the files from the previous installation. Nothing is showing up in Web UI.

There are .torrent files in the state folder. I tried to add them using the Web UI, but it didn't work.

I hope I can keep seeding my old torrents.

I downloaded the torrent files for my snatches from my tracker's website. I can't add them to deluge, it says "Failed to upload torrent".

I found that torrent from my tracker's website, copied the URL of the torrent and I was able to add the torrent to deluged with that copied URL. I added it in paused state, I forced a recheck and it was able to start seeding.

I'm really wishing that I don't have to do that for all the torrents.

the .torrent files are the one downloaded from the tracker, no more necessary afterward. A copy of the profile folder of your previous installation with deluge daemon off and correct permissions should have been sufficient.

Are you sure the permission on the folder+profile are correct?

Are you sure you had the deluge daemon disabled when you copied your profile over?
