After the update to 3.3 (win7 64bit) some torrents I've added a few days ago (since then), appear to be re-added on client restart as they're listed with the exact date and time of the last restart and get changed on every new start.

Same bug here.
WIndows 8.1 64bits, qBittorrent 3.3.1
Seems that the torrents that change the date/time on every run are magnet-links. Torrents added as files aren't affected.

I'm experiencing this with 4.1.0. The torrents with the reset "added on" field are magnet links, as also stated in an earlier comment on this issue.

This seems to happen only when the magnet's metadata is not retrieved.

The timestamp is created when the magnet metadata is retrieved. qBittorrent does not retrieve magnet metadata until you begin the download. Therefore magnet links which are added in a "Paused" state don't show the correct date. See #929, #6389, etc.

I'd still call it a bug even if there's an explanation as to why it happens. The metadata mentioned is intrinsic to the torrent, but the added on data is not.

There is a workaround, but it is fairly convoluted as the software needed is not available from the author in a compiled format. I meant to post the method over on #929 but (excuses). I am putting it on my to-do list for the next week or so, which is likely sooner than it will be fixed in the application itself, so you may want to subscribe to that.
