If multiple torrents are added via magnet links and not explicitly started before a shutdown of qBittorrent, their order of download isn't remembered.

E.g. I add 5 torrents via clickable magnet links (1 2 3 4 5). I then rearrange them to 3 4 1 2 5 and then restart the application, the order will revert to 1 2 3 4 5.

I'm on qBittorrent 3.0.0 on an Arch x64 box.

Are those magnet torrents that have not received their metadata yet? For e.g., their size is still unknown?

Yes. I guess that's what I meant by "not explicitly started".
Torrents which have received their metadata have their download order remembered just fine.
