Deluge Forum

When I shutdown deluged (either using the gtk client, deluge-console, or using pkill), after restarting any changes I have made, such as adding torrents. Pausing / unpausing, changing priority etc. are forgotten, and I get reverted to some previous state (always the same torrents unpaused - new torrents missing).

I'm stumped..

Thanks in advance.

you have failed to give any version or os information but there is clearly an issue saving state on existing. enable debug logging to look for errors.

You are right that was a craply posed question.

Anyway I used debug logging and there was an IO error on a file called torrents.state.new I deleted that file and its all working fine again now.

What does that file do anyway?

torrents.state stores all the information about torrents. the .new file is created then overwrites torrents.state.
