When downloading with magnet link, files download to /tmp/(random digits and letters)/, even though I set other path. Then after deleting torrent from list and trying to download again, file appears where it should be.

I'm using qBittorrent 3.1.0 on Xubuntu 13.04

Are you the same user as this one? -> http://qbforums.shiki.hu/index.php/topic,2221.0.html

Does this also happen with .torrent files or only with magnet links?

commented Oct 18, 2013

No, that's not me. This happens only with magnet links.

commented Oct 18, 2013

Can you do this test?

  1. Start downloading a .torrent file to location A
  2. Let it download some data eg 1%
  3. Then right-click->Set Location... and choose a location B
  4. Observe if the files are actually moved. (don't forget to consider the time required to copy/move the data depending on their size)

Report result.

I have the same problem with magnets, so i tried this test.
Downloaded .torrent file, added it to qb, let it dl for some time, changed location - file moved successfully and finished downloading without any errors.
However, with magnets the problem remains - when you click on magnet link or add it manually (going to File - Add link to torrent... and pasting hash/magnet here) qb downloads files to /tmp/torrenthash/ and never moves them to the right location.
I tried to 'Set Location' on those magnet downloads too but it does not move them anywhere.

@Argolics what OS?

commented Oct 18, 2013

Arch Linux x64

commented Oct 18, 2013

I can confirm this on debian sid 64bit.

For me, this only occurs when I choose to save on a different drive than the one the system (or /tmp) is on. Can you confirm?

commented Oct 18, 2013

I have one system HDD and one for files'n'stuff, so it might be so.
Huh. No luck. Tried some other magnet link, changed path to ~/ (system's HDD) - still got downloaded to /tmp , does not get moved after finishing or anything. But Setting Location afterwards worked out this time (i have done it after the torrent fully dled), surprisingly.

Upstream bug report: http://code.google.com/p/libtorrent/issues/detail?id=527

commented Oct 24, 2013

Untagging from v3.1.1 since this isn't our bug probably.

commented Nov 4, 2013

ArchLinux_x86
version: 3.1.1
Same problem...

commented Nov 5, 2013

Yes, this bug's still present.
Soon after my last comment (after some updates or maybe it's not related) qb started to randomly dl magnets to the right location, and when i tried to move a tmp'ed one it successfully moved to the chosen folder.
And meanwhile libtorrent in repos were updated to 0.16.12 recently but it did not help in the slightest.
Honestly speaking i cannot remember this behavior in releases prior to 3.1.0, so maybe this is a qb bug, not the libtorrent one?

commented Nov 8, 2013

I can confirm this on Arch x64, qB 3.1.2.

commented Nov 14, 2013

Hmm, I'll have to recheck with latest libtorrent.

commented Nov 25, 2013

I can confirm it's still happening on Arch x64 with version 3.1.3.

commented Nov 30, 2013

Unfortunately I cannot confirm this on debian sid!?!?!

But please do these steps that might help debuging. Let's say you have two locations A and B.

  1. Let the magnet link download its metadata and choose you final location before adding, which is A.
  2. After add confirm that it actually downloads to /tmp
  3. Right click on the torrent and 'Select location...'. Then choose A again. Does it change?
  4. If not, choose B. Does it change? If yes, choose A again. Does it change?

(soft dependency for 3.1.4)

The location changes to A from the first time and then, if selects A again - nothing happens.
version 3.1.3

commented Dec 2, 2013

Distro: Arch Linux x86_64.
Versions - qbittorrent: 3.1.3, libtorrent-rasterbar: 0.16.12

    • done (A's my default location, i did not change anything here)
    • confirmed
    • qbittorrent successfully changed location to A
      My guess - if it's a libtorrent bug, fix just did not made it to the latest release.
      0.16.12 were released at 20th of October and this bug got a proposed fix at 27, pushed to the repo at 28.
      Since i did not test this patch, i can't tell does it fix anything or not, unfortunately.

commented Dec 31, 2013

Argh, not even Arch has packaged 0.16.13 yet.

Arch users, please test ASAP when libtorrent 0.16.13 becomes available on the repos and report back.

Wrong download location #1284

commented Jan 18, 2014

Can the Ubuntu users try this ppa instead and report if it fixes the problem: https://launchpad.net/~surfernsk/+archive/internet-software ?

(be sure to install libtorrent 0.16.13 through that ppa too)

commented Jan 19, 2014

Yes, libtorrent from that PPA fixes the problem.

commented Jan 26, 2014

Closing because this is resolved from libtorrent 0.16.13 onwards. Not a qbt bug.

Download and stream movies, TV shows and other multimedia files right away using this simple and straightforward P2P file sharing tool

Counting dozens of millions of users across the globe uTorrent is among the most popular and widely-used P2P sharing file tool. Although it was a rather quiet launch, BitTorrent has launched a web version of their client that is estimated to rival the standalone client in the long run.

uTorrent Web is a lightweight piece of software that enables you to download and stream torrents directly in your default web browser. As with the original client, the tool allows you to open torrent and magnet link files automatically in a browser window.

Utorrent Magnet Download

Comes with an advanced streaming function

While you may be tempted to believe, this is simply another version of the same application, the truth is that the app comes with a major perk, which is the streaming option. Therefore, if you are downloading multimedia files, you will be happy to learn that they take very little to load and they can be played right away. On a side note, the load and play quality are both influenced by the downloading speed.

When streaming videos, you can enjoy both audio and video that work fairly well. Moreover, if the file you are grabbing contains more than one audio or video source, you can select the one you want. It goes without saying that the tool enables you to download other types of files from the web, but the difference is that these are not streamed.

An interesting alternative, but could use more preferences

Even though the streaming is the strong point of the tool, the truth is that the project is still in its infancy and you can easily observe that as soon as you access the Preferences window. To be more precise, you can modify the download location and specify the speed for the time being. Nevertheless, more options are likely to appear in the near future, depending on the suggestions and needs of the users.

All in all, uTorrent Web is a reliable P2P file sharing product, but it would be unfair to compare it to the big names at least for the time being. Consequentially, if you are looking for something fast and intuitive to grab and stream torrents from the web, then perhaps you can consider giving it a try.
