Hundreds of i/o errors when downloading torrents

Recommended Posts. Posted February 28, Hi there, I encountered the following problem when downloading certain stuff on Utorrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options Firon Posted February 28, Are you writing to an external drive?

No, not that i know of. Posted March 1, Will do. Appreciate the help, thanks! Ang Posted March 21, Posted March 21, Firon Posted March 21, StoneX Posted August 2, Posted August 2, Punnyabrata Posted December 9, Posted December 9, DreadWingKnight Posted December 9, Have you checked the disk for damage? Since I thought that might be what is causing the issue.

Angle brackets were a way to say 'put anything characters long here'. Since they are not supported in NTFS, they don't appear in torrents either and I use default names of the torrents.

FranciscoPombal Here is a zip containing two files. The one numbered 3 is the older. The one numbered 4 is an update and contains one file more. Well, the paths are not especially long and they definitely don't contain any weird characters, not even characters NTFS on Windows disallows, so that is not the problem.

Can you reproduce the problem when not using an external drive? Can you reproduce it using any sample size of 2 is acceptable here external drive? FranciscoPombal Turns out I had never really tried that on local drive. I was able to reproduce the issue on my local drive in 3 out of 4 tries. Since I download most of the stuff to external drive I assumed it might be related to that. Additionally, the issue has no relation to sequential download option.

And usually a few pieces are downloaded before the torrent stalls. The number of pieces downloaded before the stall seems to be more on local drive as compared to external drive. It should also be no problem doing step 1 with a different client other than qBittorrent, but in this case the torrent should be removed from the other client and that client closed before doing step 2.

New torrents and torrents previously downloaded with qBittorrent do not have any issues downloading. Only the ones previously downloaded in uTorrent had the issue However, I tested one torrent by removing all previous iterations from uTorrent, then closing the client and starting the download in qBittorrent. And it worked. I hope the issue is solved. Anyways, I'll test a few more and get back to you. So the issue only happens when uTorrent is also running?

If so, I don't think there is anything we can do. FranciscoPombal Yes, I think so. I haven't encountered the issue since and have tried multiple torrents.

I guess I assumed that since the torrents were stopped in uTorrent, the files would no longer be affected by that. Thanks a lot for all the help! Alright, issue appears to be due to uTorrent interfering, so this is not an issue with qBittorrent. In comment , we can also see that uTorrent is running in the background, so most likely OPs problem is the same. Thus, we can consider this solved. There is an unrelated reproducible issue mentioned in comment - thalieht can you still reproduce?

If so, I'll close this one and open a new ticket to focus on that specific issue. Latest qBt version is still 4. Just assume it still happens for me. Wasn't the. Can you reproduce this in current master, or some commit after the removal of that feature? Download Link. Thanks xavier2k6. Skip to content. Star New issue. Jump to bottom. Labels Not an issue. Copy link. HDD is not the reaso, cause uTorrent is allright and i've checked all of them actually i'ts 3 different HDD The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:.

It is based on the Qt toolkit and developed by volunteers. After investigating many user reports and posts, there are 2 scenarios that can cause the QBitTorrent IO error.

The first cause is limited permission access. The other one is your Windows Defender that may interfere with the torrent client and cause QBitTorrent.

Are you troubled by the gitignore not working issue? This vexing problem often occurs on the GitHub platform. The post will help you fix the issue. Here we explore 3 effective troubleshooting methods based on the causes. The only one who experienced this symptom and helped track it down had it because of file priorities being set to 0 on torrents downloaded with the previous version iirc. If you think your symptom is caused by something else, please file a new ticket against libtorrent.

To fix this the general solution was to upgrade qBittorrent to 4. Specifically in the part file. This ticket seems to have become a catch-all for all disk errors. If it's different from the only error message posted earlier in this ticket. Please create a new ticket. Don't forget to include which version of libtorrent you're using. I'm not sure I'm in the right place as I'm just a user with no tech idea at all. It happens with files over 1G.

I have tried some of the suggestions above and nothing works. I have the latest windows 10 upgrade but it was happening before I upgraded. Skip to content. Star New issue. Jump to bottom. Copy link. Issue still present in 4. This is happening to me since 4. It happens for torrents where I only marked some files for download. Same here. Also with a partially downloaded torrent that is seeding.

And it's actually quite bad. Is there a way to downgrade qBittorrent? Not fixed in 4. Still a constant issue in 4. Issue persists in 4. Same issue here I believe there are two libtorrent bugs which may result in a completed torrent with unselected files to become broken: For "new-style" torrents downloaded under libtorrent 1.
