Missing data download dirs

I just uninstalled and re-installed and it's the same issue. No downloads can start (even if it's successfully added to the list).

I just installed it to try and it and it works flawlessly.

Are you using Cloudflare or something?

[girish]

yeah, same, works flawlessly here. Not sure what torrent you tried but try the ubuntu ones, they almost always have seeders.

[robi]

It's not the torrent I used, as the logs show there's nowhere to write the torrent data.

Also having trouble importing previous config. No changes happen.

What configs do you mean? Is this something in vuetorrent?

Also, I have tried everything, I can never get the 'restore' log line to appear. It seems you are doing something special.

My fresh install also doesn't have 5 pages of logs like your screenshot has, there's something else.

Can you re-install fresh and just add one single torrent? Any one from https://ubuntu.com/download/alternative-downloads ?

@girish Okay, here we go again:

Upon fresh install, only the qBitorrent dir is present in the Cloudron File Manager.

The login page is a joke, as entering anything works to log you in.

Settings show data dir set to /app/data/downloads (which doesn't exist in FM)

I grab a torrent or magnet link and paste it in, select skip hash checking, click add and the download fails with a nice red button/tag message saying "Missing Files" under the state.

At this point the dirs seem to be created in FM, but transfer is stuck. Same message in logs as above.

A further experiment w/o using the skip hash checking option actually works and starts transferring right away.

Sigh, not ready for use yet.

I'll stick to my custom install of cove which provides a streaming HTTP access to torrents and the DHT, which is a lot more than this broken interface.

Is there a stable classic interface for this until the Vue one is rewritten and usable?

I'm not sure I even noticed the login page initially, but I see what you mean! I just entered something and something and I was in.

Ah, I wonder why choosing that breaks it. But yeah I didn't select skip hash checking hence why it just worked for me, I guess.

Ah, that's because it's got the Cloudron Proxy Auth thing in front of it anyway! I was just already logged into that. But yeah the qTorrent login thing doesn't seem to do anything at all!

[girish]

The login page issue is known. The UI thinks it needs authentication but the whole thing is protected by proxyAuth. We are trying to upstream a fix, let's see.

[girish]

@robi OK, I have no idea then. Let's see if someone has similar issues. But atleast, none of us can reproduce this. Maybe this skip has checking is the clue, let me try that too...
