Deluge wont recognize already downloaded torrents

Post by hittingsmoke »

I can't get Deluge to recognize files I already have for a torrent. I have a complete torrent that I downloaded using another client. The files and directory structure are in tact and I'm using the same exact .torrent file just opened in Deluge. This also happened once when I did a reformat and wiped all my settings and tried to resume already downloaded torrents on a backup drive. If the torrent is added to Deluge before it has done a complete download itself it won't recognise anything at all. However, if I start to download a torrent with Deluge, switch to another client, download some more and switch back to Deluge and do a recheck it picks up just fine.

I'm trying to resume a torrent I downloaded completely using Vuze and when I set the torrent's storage to where it's already downloaded to, it instead downloads to "/home/chris/File exists" even after a forced recheck. These are all the exact files that go with this torrent, nothing has been changed.

are you using move storage or just pointing the download location to where the files are?
