How to resume torrent downloaded in this specific case

Postby abdu » Thu Jun 15, 2023 12:46 pm

Accidentally hit the delete key which, as read in setting, is preset to do:

Delete button action:

- Remove only the one in download list

( means: but FDM keeps the one in storage )


How to resume the FDM torrent has been partially downloaded even in some long CLI steps to work, which if not possible help point out by use of another similar utility

Hello,
1. Make sure you have the latest version of FDM installed (6.19.1 at the moment).
2. Open Preferences | Advanced, and make sure that File exists reaction setting is set to "Ask".
3. Add this torrent download to FDM again and specify the same output destination.
4. Start the download. FDM will ask you what to do with the existing files. Choose "overwrite". It will then re-check files and resume download from the interrupted position.
Alex,

SOLVED

Shouldn't the setting message sound sort of:

- Rename
- Resume if possible, otherwise overwrite all by restarting whole download
-
-

so on
