qBittorrent & operating system versions

qBittorrent: 5.0.0 x64
Operating system: Windows 11 Pro x64 (23H2) 22631.4249
Qt: 6.7.3
Libtorrent: 1.2.19.0

What is the problem?

Have a set up with different save paths defined for completed and incomplete torrents.

Completed downloads are not moving from incomplete folder reliably.

Sometimes the folder itself is created in the completed filepath, but the files remain in the incomplete folder.

Steps to reproduce

Download to completion
Check folder for files
Missing files are found in the "Source" folder and not moved to "Destination"

Additional context

torrent2 had a filename of length 89 vs. torrent1's 82.
There were no other special characters than ".", "[" and "]"
E:/ HDD has ample space (700GB free)

I've been noticing the same thing since upgrading to 5.0.0. Looking in the logs I see the same "Permission denied" message. When I tried to rename one of the completed downloads it wouldn't let me because it claimed some component of Nord had access to the file. I went in and turned off all of Nord's supplemental features, will see if that fixes it.
