force-recheck not effective...

Post by creeping death »

i m on fedora10 i downloaded and installed the latest version of deluge from here...

i m currently downloading some torrents now...and yesterday my PC crashed with deluge running...after i rebooted the PC and started deluge again, i was expecting deluge to perform a data recheck...but the rechecking was stuck at an arbitrary percent (for one torrent rechecking was stuck at 0.61% and another torrent it was stuck at 0.81%) and there was no disk activity whatsoever.

i tried to reset deluge by deleting all files from ./config/deluge and then adding files again and do a force-recheck. but that was ineffective too...

the only work around that i found was to copy the semi-completed files to another location...then delete the data folder...and remove the torrent and then add the torrent again and then move back the files and then perform a "force-recheck"...

for example: if i m downloading fedora-live CD via torrent then i copy the have completed fedora-live.iso CD to another location then remove the torrent and data from deluge...then i add the fedora-live.torrent back into deluge...pause deluge and move the iso image back to the download location...after this i do a force recheck.

why is this happening and how to overcome this problem?

can't help ya, but this seems to look like a common thread.

I've got a ton of torrents stuck checking at 99.8x% or less (no kidding) that simply won't complete.

Any suggestions welcome.
