Video downloads missing

**gregwa** · September 14th, 2008, 06:56 PM

I set up 3 downloads via Video/Internet Videos/Video Downloads.

Two of the three show completed, but do not show up under downloads. In fact, if I look in .boxee/downloads, there's nothing there. The torrent files (xxxx.torrent) is located under .boxee/torrents.

Am I missing something?

hi gregwa
Firstly please make sure you are using the latest version.
I need you to pm the rtorrent.rc file(this files configures the location of the torrent files) which should be located under your userdata (~/.boxee/userdata/).

Basically the flow of downloading the torrent files are:

1.You select to download a movie.File is then automatically moved to .boxee/torrents
2.While file is downloading it is placed into ./boxee/tmp until file is completed.
3.When file is completed it will move it to .boxee/downloads.Please note the files will still stay under .boxee/torrents.

Please could you check under .boxee/tmp all the torrent files are completed.

Marcel,
Couldn't find a link to upload a file to you on PM, so here is what I think you are looking for.

The actual file is "rtorrent.rc.linux". The directory portion is...

Code:

# Default directory to save the downloaded torrents.
directory = ~/.boxee/torrent/.tmp

The files (all three) are there. Two show completed, the other shows 19% done. Is this a case that all files must be complete before moving?

hi gregwa

Looks like a bug the files stay under /torrent and /torrent/.tmp ..i have opened up a bug report here and see what we can do.

cheers for the report

Is this the same location on the Mac? I cant find the files after they are done downloading.

I see the downloads running in the download section but they never get moved to the boxee/download folder and never index.

Glad to see I'm not the only one with this particular problem.

I'm running Ubuntu 8.10 and my torrents are stuck in torrents/.tmp as well.

Maybe it's just an rtorrent settings issue though. I'll try to look into it later.
