Torrent can't resume download after "out of disk space" error

Have had this problem as long as I can remember. Now I'm using 0.3.13 and I got this again.

How to reproduce:

-using full disk allocation- (don't remember if I also got the problem while using partial)
  • -download torrent
    -have little disk space left
    -get disk space error
    -free up disk space and resume torrent
    -Upload works but downloading won't ever resume.
Removing and adding the torrent always fixes this problem. New torrents or those that didn't get a disk error (paused at the time) works without any problem.


Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug?
Let me know if I can try something out.

EDIT: Paused the problematic torrent and forced a recheck, then rebooted and it started downloading. I'm pretty sure I have tried this before but maybe it was fixed in a recent version.
Going to try the same the next time, without rebooting..

EDIT2: The only workaround I've found is to reboot the computer. No need to pause the torrent before though.

Rebooting worked. I could've removed and re-added the torrents, but this saved a lot of time. I was banging my head as to why seeds weren't connecting to the affected torrents after clearing space for them. Thanks for the tip!
