Basically, my computer lost power, and when I booted up again, qbittorrent tried to redownload all 240 torrents I had going, because it somehow managed to forget where on the HDD they were placed, and they also lost their labels.
Save these kinds of things to a text file or something, jeez.

It is a known problem and unfortunately there isn't an easy way to fix this AFAIK.
However, this should be fixed when I get around to implementing this: #583

Not only power failures or crashs sometimes inexplicably, #160

This should be fixed with a1a5fb065e and bbf47b0907

It will be included with v3.1.0 which is the next stable release planned. For those who cannot wait:
For Windows try my nightly: http://qbforums.shiki.hu/index.php/topic,1747.msg8034.html#msg8034
For Ubuntu use this PPA(wait for the autobuild to sync): http://launchpad.net/~hydr0g3n/+archive/qbittorrent-trunk/
Others: Find a 3rd party who provides packages from git master or just wait for your distro to package v3.1.0
