Description

rTorrent deletes torrents when pressing ctrl+k to stop and denn pressing ctrl-d to remove form the torrent from rTorrent. sometimes it happens that rtorrent has old "deleted" torrents in the list again starting downloading. (i think it has something to do with the session directory) How do i prevent this behaviour?

You probably still have the file in the watch directory.

It's possible that you've put the file there after the torrent was already loaded in rtorrent, then it wouldn't be added to rtorrent again until that download is removed. This is probably what you're seeing, or something similar to it.

No, the torrents in the watchdir are deleted correctly.

no, i only do add torrents using the watch dir (using wget)

rtorrent is keeping copies of the torrents in its session directory, right? is it possible that they're not correctly removed?

The session file is not a copy as such, though it contains similar information in addition to rtorrent's actual session info. You can check that it's getting deleted correctly by looking up the info hash in rtorrent (download info), and when you remove the download the corresponding session file should disappear.

If it disappears and the download still shows up when you restart rtorrent, it's because it's being added again. That can only come from the watch directory.

If it doesn't disappear, then you have some kind of permissions problem and rtorrent is unable to delete it.

Anyways, whether you put the torrent file in the watch directory manually or with wget doesn't matter. If you put it there after the download is already in rtorrent, then it'll stay there and be loaded when that download is removed from rtorrent. So it's still a plausible explanation.
