Hi, I checked the log, and there are over 100 files being accessed for "fast resume" on startup when I open qbittorrent.

Most of them are stopped torrents that are not seeding or anything. They're just left there as a collection. It's a waste and takes a long time for qbittorrent to always check up on them.

Can you make an option to disable "fast resume" file checking on startup or shutdown? These are just old files that I don't use at the moment. No activity on them, so I don't want to see 100 of them in my log file everytime during startup. Can you set file checking to manual, so if I wanted, I could choose to seed an old file one at a time?

How do you think qBt would be able to know if a torrent is stopped or not if it doesn't read its fastresume? Everything about it's state are written and read from that file.
