deleted torrents reappearing on app restart

Post by misosabotageallowed »

have about 150 torrents that i’m stuck in a loop with. try to delete them, they delete, restart transmission and there they are again.

some facts
  • running macos 13.1 on a mac mini m1
  • same behavior in transmission 4.0.3 and 4.0.6
  • strangely, these are all sourced from the same tracker
  • same behavior if they are deleted with or without data
  • their associated data is correctly deleted
  • when they reappear, they are set to the default download location, not their original data location
  • with transmission closed, i have deleted the .resume and .torrent files
  • with transmission closed, i have removed the torrent from transfers.plist
  • these are all older, but not too old — post 4.x i think, say early 2023 at the oldest
  • can’t find references to the torrent hash anywhere else on disk, just the usuals in ~/Library/Application Support/Transmission
  • watch folder is disabled and where it was previously enabled, the folder is empty
  • no errors or warnings reported in logs
any thoughts? 🙏
