Torrents disappeared after power loss

[DrMarson]

My computer lost power briefly, and after restarting, all of my torrents (100+) are missing from Deluge. I looked in .config/deluge/state and there are 147 files in there, including a bunch of torrent files (some with a corresponding .fastresume file), one torrents.state file, and one torrents.fastresume file (1MB).

I tried renaming the .config/deluge folder, starting Deluge, exiting deluge, copying old state folder into new state folder. No luck. Any other suggestions on getting my old state to load?

I'm running Deluge 1.3.0, libtorrent 0.15.4, Ubuntu 10.10, no plug-ins, deluge-gtk, ext2, installed from package manager.

Or, if there is no way for me to recover my previous state, is it possible to prevent this from happening again? I don't want to have to recheck 100+ torrents every time the power goes out.

You probably shouldn't have been using ext2 in the first place because it doesn't support journaling.

Ext2 is good maybe for USB sticks so they don't theoretically "burn out" (flash storage has a limited write cycle)... Those I usually format as FAT32 for cross compatibility.

This just happened to me!

My solution was to open this folder (Windows): %APPDATA%\Deluge\state
and the to open each torrent file there with deluge (double clicking for me was fine)

After some "Re-Checking" Deluge gets back to work.
