Deluge Forum

I have around 80 completed torrents running in deluge, all of which are stored on an extra storage HD I have. When I started deluge, it for some reason forgot where those files are located and was trying to find them in my home/download folder, and since nothing was there it tried downloading all my torrents again.

I chose the "move storage" option in order to point deluge to the files, but for some reason 18 of these torrents refuse to change directory (the others changed directory and are now seeding again with no problem). No matter what I do, deluge keeps looking for these torrents in my download folder, when I keep telling it to point to the storage drive where they are located.

I'm currently using 1.1.9, and when this first occurred I was using 1.2.0 rc4 (I hoped that by downgrading to the latest stable version I could fix the problem, but it was no help)

Could you run the daemon with debug logging enabled and then try moving storage: http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/Faq# ... ingenabled ?

The debug info says "[DEBUG ] 07:28:04 alertmanager:107 storage_moved_failed_alert: [TORRENT NAME] storage move failed: File exists"

So you're trying to move to a location where that filename is already being used. libtorrent generates an error in this case since it will not overwrite the files currently in place.

Oh, ok this makes sense now. After deluge forgot where the files were located, it started to redownload them. The ones that had already started to download wouldn't move because, like you said, the file already existed there and it wouldn't overwrite. Thanks for the help, I deleted the files that it started to download and then the torrents moved storage correctly.
