I hope that this is a simple question.
Am running rtorrent 0.7.9 on Ubuntu 7.07. Have been for about a year
after switching from azurus.
I accidentally deleted some files that I downloaded. As I was (and
still am) seeding the files they still exist intact and their locations
are known by rtorrent, at least until I close the torrent. Is it
possible to get the files back?
It is possible if you're not unlucky and rtorrent decides to open too
many files, thus closing them before you can copy them.
Have considered a couple of solutions:
1) stop the torrent with ctrl-d and use ctrl-O to change the directory.
Am concerned that if the torrent is stopped that the files will be lost.
Don't touch it at all in the client... Do however make sure you don't
have other torrents with lots of files active.
2) find out where rtorrent stores the information on file names, etc and
use the information to copy the files while rtorrent continues to
seed them.
You can find the files under /proc/<id>/fd/, where ls -l will show you
the files currently open by the process. Just copy those (and not the link).
