Torrents adding in "stopped" state

[dsouvik215]

Hi Guys,

My ruTorrent install seems to be adding torrents by default in the stopped state. Oddly it was working OK before and it just started doing it now.

I think this may be a permissions problem somewhere, but i can't seem to pinpoint the issue.

Any help would be appreciated!

Edit: I also seem to be having a problem with "Delete with Data" . It removes the torrent from ruTorrent, but the data seems to be left in the directory.

make sure permissions are set correctly on your download directory.

Meaning www-data should have access to /home/user/downloads ? I think this is there, but i will re-check it..

 

[dsouvik215]

It's definitely there.


www-data@server:/home/user/downloading$ rm -rf debian-6.0.3-i386-DVD-1.iso

Shows no errors, and the file gets successfully removed.

Also check perms on your rTorrent session directory then.

Torrents seem to add fine, so i don't think it's an issue with it. But i'll re-check them.

1) Update ruTorrent from svn.
2) If problem still happens - try to remove all plugins and check again.

Thanks jith45, this fixed the Erase Data Plugin. But when adding torrents, this still seems to be adding in "stopped" state. Do you know any reason for this? or what i should check?

 

[jith45]

Is you remove all plugins before check?

Hi jith45,

I just managed to get time to test, and it seems when adding autotools plugin, it stops the torrents from starting automatically when added (via "Add Torrent" dialogue or RSS). Should i open a issue @ code.google.com for you?

 

[jith45]

Yes.
1) You must use svn version of this plugin
2) Don't forget to write about plugin's configuration.

It seemed to happen to one of my servers as well. I haven't had time to investigate it yet.

1) Check permissions.
2) Try to disable all plugins. What happens?

 

[das329717]

So, after little investigation i've found some problems with my installation.
1. Autotools was renaming my torrent files to .torrent.fail
2. After upgrade warch folder changed owner actually.

Quick solution:
- delete autotools plugin
- changed watch folder owner to my user.

Can someone tell me why autotools plugin was renaming my torrent files ?

1) You use "AutoWatch" feature from plugin "AutoTools".
2) You change ownership of the watch directory, as result - AutoWatch hasn't permission for normal work. It can't add torrent from this directory.
3) It *must* rename failed torrents. Otherwise this torrents will be processed at the next check. With same result.
