my own torrents are stuck seeding at 99% even though I have the files

Post by c4naan »

apologies if this has been asked. I tried to search for it but found nothing.

I have some torrents that I have created, uploaded and seeded. Due to hardware changes, I am transferring those torrents to a different machine and keeping the server and files as is. However, on about 50% of my own files, when I load then into the new transmission client and verify the files, they get stuck at 99.9%. It seems that transmission thinks my .m3u and .log files don't exist on my server, which they do.

How can my own torrent files be incomplete to seed when I created them myself?! :roll:

I don't think anything has changed. How would only my log and m3u files be corrupt on multiple torrents? The mp3s are fine and verify at 100%

What's mtime? Not familiar with that

ah yes, I think you are right.
I found a copy of some of the files on a backup, copied them over the top of the originals and then the verify completed to 100%
Didn't fix all of my files, but most of them. Thanks for the tip.
