Hello,

I got a problem i can not re-seed my downloaded files.
Actually my downloads are move to another hdd when completed, but after a reboot sometimes they disapear of seeding.

And worse, i can not re-seed them. I re-added the tracker file but deluge dont check the datas of the "completed data hdd" it create new data files starting from zero...

Someone can help me to resolve this issue?

Thanks for your help!

Ps: sorry for my english

When reloading the torrent, point it to the current save location of your previous data. If it's a multi-file torrent, chances are it created a folder of its own, DON'T pick that folder for the save location, pick its parent folder (ie if it's a torrent with 10 files, called Sountrackx, and it's currently in X:/Complete/Soundtrackx, point Deluge to X:/Complete, not X:/Complete/Soundtrackx). After you add it, it should check for the completed files on its own.

Not sure what else could be wrong.

How do u reseed exactly? Cause I do the following:
Load .torrent, then select the place where Ive put the torrent contents, and then I select the option 'Add in Paused State'. If its required I rename some of the folders thru the program.

The next step would be to force recheck, that should find all the files that you had renamed, then start, it should start seeding as long as it found all 100%. You can also make it seed without stopping by unselecting the auto managed box and apply on the per torrent options.
