Fix missing file (Torrent) when moved.

Postby spikebor » Thu Dec 02, 2021 5:16 pm

When i move the files around to tidy up the space, the torrent files marked as missing. Therefore i'll become a leecher. I want to seed back the torrents, please give option to tell FDM where my files are placed now.

Use context menu in FDM to move downloads.

But usher, it doesn't really work.
Say if I want to seed using FDM, I already have the torrent file, and don't want to download it via torrent, but only want to see, FDM doesn't have an option that most torrent clients have that is Re-check files. Which usually fixes this.

You should be able to achieve this if you choose overwrite mode instead of rename. In this case FDM will just re-check files and start seeding if all is OK.

Didn't know about that.
That seems a but obscure though, renaming file names is not even an option in torrent transfers. It would be nice if an option like File check or so was available.
