Originally created by @reyaz006 on GitHub (Nov 23, 2017).
qBittorrent version and Operating System
qBittorrent 4.0.1
Windows 8.1 x64
If on linux, libtorrent and Qt version
(type here)
What is the problem
Upgraded from 3.3.13 to 4.0.1. Noticed slow loading and unresponsive behavior. Noticed that qBittorrent tries to re-check and re-download many of old torrents which were FINISHED or PAUSED or at ERROR state before. Most of those downloaded files I've already moved somewhere else after MAKING SURE THAT TORRENTS ARE STILL ON LIST AND PAUSED OR OTHERWISE SHOULD NOT BE RUNNING.
My download drive got filled and now I have to sort it out all by hand.
What is the expected behavior
Should not have started old downloads without my consent.
Steps to reproduce
Install new version. Run. Get mad.
Extra info(if any)
More than 16000 torrents on my list.
@Hilvern commented on GitHub (Nov 23, 2017):
Same issue :(
After having seeded up to a certain ratio my downloaded torrents, I usually move the files to an external storage but do keep the torrents in qBittorrent in case I decide to re-seed some time after, and also for my torrent history (to avoid downloading twice the same thing). These torrents already downloaded but showing a 0.0% progress (as files were moved) are usually categorized in the ERROR section (Files missing)
With the 4.0.1 update, almost all these torrents are put back to an "active" status and qBittorrent attempts to re-download them. It is quite annoying, and I had to select them all then "pause" them in order to "solve" the situation.
I was pretty sure something like this was gonna happen with this v4 update... fortunately I don't have a lot of torrents in my list, a 100 times less than reyaz006. Also I must say the logo appears to be of very poor quality on the windows taskbar.
Anyway, congrats to the dev team for their great work to this major update which seems to work quite well apart from these minor issues. Thanks for providing us with an ad-free quality tool.
@bakedmotato commented on GitHub (Nov 23, 2017):
I had this problem. Try turning off the "Keep incomplete torrents in" feature in the download options.
@reyaz006 commented on GitHub (Nov 24, 2017):
It wasn't enabled for me.
@reyaz006 commented on GitHub (Nov 27, 2017):
I can't even understand how can I describe this issue. Just by keeping a torrent on my list in a PAUSED state, I'm risking that qBittorrent is going to create or overwrite or re-allocate or break the file. I've lost few updated files due to that. I've edited the files after they have been downloaded (and paused) and kept them under the same name, then at some point qBittorrent broke them. Can't it just leave the torrent there and don't do a thing to it if it's paused?
@lite104me commented on GitHub (Nov 29, 2017):
Had same issue after upgrading to 4.0.1 x64. Now all my torrents stay in completed and will not seed for longer than 5 seconds.
@thalieht commented on GitHub (Nov 30, 2017):
@lite104me not the same issue. For your issue select all torrents (ctrl+a) or desired ones and right click -> limit share ratio: no share limit.
@mustafaismail22 commented on GitHub (Dec 11, 2017):
I have the same issue.
qBittorrent version and Operating System
qBittorrent 4.0.2
Windows 10 x64
@reyaz006 commented on GitHub (Jan 4, 2018):
Dear god. It happened again. qbt crashed, and then I restarted it. Only few hours later I noticed that it has downloaded 3 whole torrents which were previously downloaded and stopped. This time, I noticed this:
PLEASE. I like the "PAUSE" button. But it doesn't work right. PLEASE add the "STOP AND NEVER TOUCH IT AGAIN" button. Maybe that'll work.
@Nischi85 commented on GitHub (Jan 10, 2018):
I think my issue might be similiar, but maybe not exactly same. My torrents finish, and ends up in the "stalled" status which is fine because it's waiting to seed, but every now and then it re-downloads the whole torrent again!(I've not had the program turned off, it's on all the time) even while the files are still accessible and at the same location! I've redownloaded loads of stuff like this accidentally, and some of the files are quite big as well meaning it's eating up my bandwidth and ratio.
@plazadelmar commented on GitHub (Feb 15, 2018):
Same problem here.
PC with torrent version 4.0.3 64-bits.
@JoanneMullen commented on GitHub (Feb 23, 2018):
For the love of God, add an option where you can choose to have a 'file error' rather than automatically downloading a deleted file again. It makes QBit a pain to use. uTorrent does this properly, and so anyone coming to QBit from uTorrent after the latest security scare is going to get a nasty surprise or two.

qBittorrent 4.0.4
Windows 10 x64
Still not fixed. This is so frustrating.
@ihendriks commented on GitHub (Mar 9, 2018):
Same issue.
qBittorrent 4.0.4 (x64)
Windows 10 (x64)
@IgnacioFDM commented on GitHub (Mar 11, 2018):
Same problem here on 4.04 and Windows 7 x64
@plazadelmar commented on GitHub (Mar 11, 2018):
Is someone working on this problem?
@bobsage123 commented on GitHub (Mar 12, 2018):
For all the crap uTorrent gets, it's insanely less buggy than Qbittorent. This is number #5 major bug thats affecting me so far.
@ihendriks commented on GitHub (Mar 13, 2018):
I've changed back to 3.3.16 and haven't seen the issue since. Don't know if that's an option for everyone though.
@plazadelmar commented on GitHub (Apr 12, 2018):
This issue has been posted for version 4.0.1, I'm on version 4.0.4 and the problem still persists. I think they only way to solve it is to go back to my previous torrent software that worked fine.
@tehmasterer commented on GitHub (Apr 17, 2018):
Same problem here. I updated from version 3.3.1.6 to 4.0.4 because qbittorrent was hanging in task manager. Updating solved the problem but a new one arose. ALL my paused torrents started to download again. Multiple files have been overwritten. Super pissed!
@Kyguy0 commented on GitHub (Apr 30, 2018):
Same problem, super disappointing. 4.0.4 on OSX.
@kristofferR commented on GitHub (May 9, 2018):
Same issue here.
4.1.0, macOS
@KMFR commented on GitHub (May 9, 2018):
Same issues here too, been going on for six months or so already... Paused torrents whose content has already been deleted always start re-downloading after a restart. Are there any better alternatives? I guess utorrent is out of the question, and Deluge seems pretty bad too...
@ihendriks commented on GitHub (May 9, 2018):
@KMFR I just went back to pre-4.0, which works fine. Haven't really tried anything else because I can't be bothered.
@bobsage123 commented on GitHub (May 9, 2018):
I'm really not sure why they can't just code something that says if file in completed torrent is renamed > throw error.
And NOT redownload the file. I have thousands of torrents running and sometimes accidently rename one of the files in them. Then the file is redownloaded and I have two of the same copy on my HD, eating up space, plus it's killing my ratio on the private tracker. Never had this issue in utorrent.
@KMFR commented on GitHub (May 12, 2018):
@ihendriks thanks I'll do the same until I find a better alternative, don't know why I didn't think of that earlier
@marianolc commented on GitHub (May 18, 2018):
Same problem. In windows. Installed last updated and suddenly old downloads started again(all those were finished already)
@ghost commented on GitHub (May 19, 2018):
I'm having the same problem. I moved the files (and set the file locations) to an external hard drive and later when I rebooted my computer (with external hard drive connected) the files commenced downloading again.

Libtorrent bug: https://github.com/arvidn/libtorrent/issues/3045
@delykj commented on GitHub (May 29, 2018):
When will be this bug resolved? Downloaded latest 4.1.1 version and the bug still exists. This bug opened more than six months ago.
If this will be not resolved, then this software is not usable and need to switch back to uTorrent.
@sledgehammer999 commented on GitHub (May 29, 2018):
@delykj learn to read and have patience. https://github.com/arvidn/libtorrent/issues/3045#issuecomment-392368607
@delykj commented on GitHub (May 29, 2018):
Yes, I have read that thread.
"learn to read"
Don't be rude.
