Download keeps being processed even when it was already processed

[nikagl]

Hi all,

So... not sure why but my downloads keep being processed even when they were already processed. I keep my downloads for seeding, and manually delete them, but it keeps postprocessing them which (as far as I know) it did not do in the past. It continuously notifies my xbmc, plex, etc., and that causes popups in xbmc, which I prefer not to have (plus it takes unnessesary resources).

This is some logging to prove it:

File is being snatched:

SEARCHQUEUE-BACKLOG-153021 :: Picked The Walking Dead S04E10 HDTV x264-EXCELLENCE as the best
Calling uTorrent with url: http://localhost:........
I will not be able to set label or paused to this torrent: http://***The.Walking.Dead.S04E10.HDTV.x264-EXCELLENCE.torrent

Why can't it set label or pause the torrent?

Then further on, it starts post processing:

Any thoughts?

Did you set the setting to MOVE files on post process?
Config > Post Processing > Keep Original Files (uncheck this)

[nikagl]

No, because I want to keep the original files to avoid deleting them because they still need to be seeded...

[nikagl]

Seeding continues in uTorrent till ratio is 2.0 (depending on setting in uTorrent), which is required by ipTorrents and TorrentLeech...

[junalmeida]

This is a problem related to the post processing logic. I noticed that too a long time ago. But since this is not a feature that we support yet, you should report this to the main branch (midgetspy).

I'm analyzing the possibility to merge this pull (midgetspy#663), that should solve problems with seeding by moving and creating a symbolic link.

[rui-castro]

Apparently this commit midgetspy@9f309a4 solves the problem. It closes issue (midgetspy#629)

[nikagl]

Thanks! In the mean time I have disabled Scan and Process as most torrents were added by Sickbeard and I assume those will still be monitored? @junalmeida will you be able to merge that commit?

[junalmeida]

If you disable Scan and Process, those torrents will not be monitored.
