qBittorrent & operating system versions

qBittorrent v4.6.4 (64-bit)
Qt: 6.4.3
Libtorrent: 1.2.19.0
Boost: 1.84.0
OpenSSL: 1.1.1w
zlib: 1.3.1
OS: 10.0.19045.3996 (10.0.19045)

What is the problem?

If you downloaded one file from the torrent first, and then downloaded all the other files, you shouldn't have a .parts file left, since all pieces of the torrent have been downloaded, but the file remains.

Also reproduced in the master.
Behavior in lt 2.0 has not been tested.

Steps to reproduce

Find a multi-file torrent and download it partially.
Mark the remaining files and download the torrent completely.
The .parts file remains. If you continue seeding, it will never be deleted.

@yueisme, it's not talking about deleting the .parts file manually, and what you're talking about I already know perfectly well.

Sorry I misunderstood you, I think parts file management should be taken a step further.

After download full contents of the torrent needs to confirm that the parts file is redundant. It would be depend on libtorrent make some recheck?

I looking forward can provide some setting can delete parts file when arrive seed limit.
