Certain torrents which contain padding files in them seem to break rTorrent

Open samad909 opened this issue 2 years ago • 4 comments

Some torrents with padding files in them (.pad folder) seem to break rtorrent 0.9.8. Trying to start the torrent doesnt work, hash checking or removing the torrent throws this error, file_list: Failed to prepare file '/.pad/XXXXXX': Duplicate filename found.5) Hashing failed: Duplicate filename found.

There are no duplicate files and the test was done on a new user account.

All the torrents that I have seen this issue on seem to be from private trackers so if you like I can email this torrent to the address on the wiki.

The padding files are themselves duplicates of each other.

This seems to be getting caused by using "V2" or "Hybrid" for the Torrent Format in qBittorrent 4.4.0+. Not sure if that can help diagnose and figure out if there's a way to make it work but that's what I've worked out about it. Seems to come from the newer versions of qB.

I confirm this issue with Hybrid/V2 torrent format on 0.9.6.

Is there any progress on duplicate .pad handling, or any workaround please?
