When I quit qbittorrent, I regularly lose torrents from my list upon restart. They are just gone. The actual files still exist on the computer, but the torrent disappears from the client.

I have had this issue on and off for over a year, over many versions of qBittorrent. I have just upgraded to v3.3.14 and had the worst instance of this yet. Restart after the upgrade left me with 3 torrents in the client - I had ~150 before I shut down (inc leeching and seeding). Re-added as many as I could (painstaking process!), and 10 disappeared again on the next restart. (I dont often restart the program normally, but had to due to issue with it).

I'm using Windows 10 Pro, 14393.1358.

What can I do to prevent this happening?!? Very frustrating.

This issue has been closed and locked for being too old, and thus either most likely resolved in recent versions or no longer applicable.
If you experience the reported problem or similar in the latest version, please open a new issue report with the requested information in the issue template.

A new issue report with relevant updated data gathered from the latest version is preferable to necroing an old report with a comment like "still happens in version x.y.z", even if you think the bug is the same, or suspect of a regression.
Due to the changes made to the qBittorrent code and its dependencies over time, the exact cause of your problem could be totally different than the original one, despite the visible symptoms of the bug being similar.
Thus, providing relevant updated information is crucial to find and fix the root cause of a recurrent problem or regression.

Thank you for your contributions.
