"Save to" (datadir) plugin causing torrents to be restarted

[randac56]

Hi there,

I've used the "Save to" functionality supplied by the datadir plugin (I think) to move torrents + data from one directory to another for a long time now. However, after recently reinstalling my server with the latest stable version of rTorrent and ruTorrent, I've noticed that when I move a torrent + data to a new directory, the torrent is restarted as if it was just added. ie. It goes to the top of the list when sorted by Added, and all upload / ratio stats are reset.

I'm not 100% sure if this is a plugin issue, or a ruTorrent issue or even an rTorrent issue. Any advice would be appreciated, thank you.

Versions:
rTorrent 0.9.2/0.13.2
ruTorrent 3.6

Update: My apologies, I think the reason for this behaviour is that "Fast resume" is ticked by default. If I untick that, it doesn't exhibit the above behaviour. However, I am still a bit confused. I thought that without Fast Resume, it would perform a hash check after moving, but mine does not do that either way (gladly).

This is a normal behavior. "Fast resume" mean - delete torrent, and add it with a "Fast resume" option.

This depends from target. For example, if you save torrent to the another partition (without "Fast resume" option checked), then hash check will be performed.
