Please provide the following information

qBittorrent version and Operating System

win 7 64bit
4.3.3

What is the problem

torrents getting moved to error after moving the files.

What is the expected behavior

just stop the torrents and not recheck till necessary

Steps to reproduce

finish a torrent, close the program, move the file, open the program, the torrent should now be errored.

Extra info(if any)

this is my use case and some potential solutions.

I download copious amounts of small torrents, to the point I have 28565 torrents in the program, this is so I don't end up re downloading the small things over and over again, and I move files outside of the program because it's more convenient for me that way. The issue happened when I accidently downloaded several thousand torrents by mistake, I have a tag for torrents called 'fully downloaded' this keeps torrents that were fully downloaded out of the 'to download' area either through errors or through them decided they need to be re downloaded but I forgot to tick that tag filter when I highlighted everything and told it to go.

so my thoughts on a fix are

a true stop, this would stop the torrents from ever being checked again till you ask the program to start it up again
a way to remove a torrent while keeping the hash of the torrent, this way if you wanted to re add the same torrent, it would tell you "you already downloaded this on X" with an option to either re add it or ignore it.
