Autoload corrupt torrent error

Post by roncitf »

When downloading a torrent to my autoload directory, Deluge states that the torrent is corrupt. This is only in versions 0.5.8.6 and 0.5.8.7. I have to download the torrent again and again and again, sometimes 7 times until Deluge does not give that error message and starts downloading. Really annoying, because the computer that downloads is my server and not the one I use daily.
I use Deluge on Windows XP on both machines.

Today a max. 17 times I had to dl the torrent, until Deluge accepted it.
I'm going to find another client, this is not working for me.

this is due to deluge trying to load the torrent before it has completely finished downloading.
downloading the torrents to your autoload directory then running deluge should be a temporary fix to the problem.
otherwise you can just choose to have deluge automatically add a torrent when you decide to download it.

Deluge is running 24/7. So the solution would be to have Deluge autoload torrents every 10 secs like uTorrent did.
Deluge is running on my server, so it should be doing things 'on it's own', that's why I switched from halite to Deluge, because Halite had not autoload option.
Will this problem be solved in version 0.6?

Got a simple solution; dl the torrent to another directory and when it's there, just drag it to the autoload directory. Works.

yeah that workaround works fine, I'm using Autoload in 0.6 and the problem seems to be fixed, I don't use Autoload often I rather download the torrent to a archiving folder, for backup purposes (Autoload deletes the torrent when it's loaded), and load the torrent manually in Deluge

it's a sucky workaround. The problem has been detailed more than twice but no developer is listening. It's very very simple for them to put a delay on the auto load but it never happens.
