i2psnark - errors reading seed (completed) torrents ../i2p/i2psnark (Ubuntu)

[fort1]

After i2p start only about 4 seed (completed) torrents are loaded.
There is not a question of "creating storage" - the files are completed.

[zzz]

yes, the error handling needs to be fixed (one bad torrent shouldn't kill the DirectoryMonitor? and prevent other torrents from loading) but the problem for you appears to be that the storage directory or file for the torrent can't be read.

zzz, I am sure, that the torrents are ok and the respective files exist and are readable (read-only though). Maybe instead of periodical re-scanning the torrent directory, it would be wiser to add a button "Refresh" ?

fort1, thanks for the update.

ok, fixed so one error doesnt kill the DirMonitor?. This fix will be in 0.8.1.

It should only rescan if the files were modified since the torrent was completed.
i2psnark doesn't always handle RO files well, even for seeding, this needs to be improved, leaving ticket open.

Old ticket, but there's been much improvement in last 16 months (in addition to the fix in 0.8.1 referenced above), error handling is better. RO files should be fine. Please reopen if there's still a problem.
