When you add a torrent it normally checks if the disk has some/all the data or not which can be a major flaw.

it seeds fine but i am manually rechecking them and if i turn my pi off and then on the amount I have downloaded is not right. so I recheck em again and it takes a while. There is no auto check or anything going on. Still a good client but I feel that this might be a bug I am using qBittorrent v3.1.10 (Web UI)

It does correctly check if the filedata matches the added torrent hash and perform a recheck if it does.

What it wont/doesnt do is check if the filenames contained in the torrent file already exist in the download directory and throw a warning if they do exist AND differ from the metadata electing to overwrite them instead.

Because bittorrent protocol clients do not 'know' or 'care' about folders and files, they use pieces NOT files.
