Seeking clarification on restarting torrent downloads.

[txporter]

Hi,

I am using the 0.51 update and bubbalibre's tiny little hack.

I normally start downloads by pasting the URL for a torrent into the download manager, as opposed to uploading a torrent file to ~/torrents.

For unknown reasons occasionally my torrent downloads stop. When I look in the ~/torrents dir I see lots of .ft* files that appear to be torrent files for the downloads that were going on.

After I restart ftd, (or reboot in the worst case) the ~/torrents/.ft* files are still there, but I don' think that my torrents restart. If these .ft files are present, are my downloads supposed to restart automatically, or do I need to delete all these .ft files and add the torrent files again manually?

I have seen a lot of posts about restarting torrents, but I think some are obsolete or do not refer to bubbalibre's tiny little hack.

Thanks,

Tom P.

Hi txporter,

the .ft* files are indeed the stored torrent files from when you added downloads via the web-ui. And when you restart Bubba it should resume these downloads.

Note however that if these downloads are large it could take considerable time before download resumes due to the files being checked.
