torrent download broken

[tiddler]

I had to remove the power cable from my bubba2 as it had frozen when copying files to it via SMB.

When it restarted the torrent download queue was empty.

Nothing happens when I add new torrents.

From the daemon.log:
Apr 7 18:41:08 bubba ftd: Torrent already added
Apr 7 18:43:04 bubba ftd: shutting down
Apr 7 18:43:07 bubba ftd: Handle not valid, not writing resume data

Apr 7 18:43:10 bubba ftd: TorrentDownloadManager starting up
Apr 7 18:43:25 bubba ftd: Torrent already added

can anyone help fix this?

Hi tiddler,

You could try following steps, solving a torrent downloader hang-up when some corrupt hidden files are resident in the 'torrents' directories of one or more users.

Step1: Disable the Downloader service via the admin account
Step2: Delete all 'torrents' directories of all users (or at least the one you suspect) and create them again
Step3: Enable the Downloader service via the admin account

Kind regards, Rob

It did the trick, at least the torrents now show up for download, altough my B2 torrent download interface now gets stuck on "connecting to tracker" instead. Tried different sites/trackers.

My download manager seemed to fixed itself after a few reboots - or just time passing.

I'll try your suggestion in the future if I get the same problem again.
