Download station not moving files

[frank3427]

It seems that download station no longer moves the files to the selected directory, it only places them in the Qdownload directory. I have several directories for various catagories, when I set a file or group of files to download, I select the direct to move the completed download to. the download does not appear in the directory.

From an SSH session to your NAS, what is the output of:

Code: Select all

getcfg BTDownload "HTTP_FTP Move Completed Task Folder"
testparm -s -l --section-name=Qdownload --parameter-name=path 2>/dev/null
testparm -s -l --section-name=Download --parameter-name=path 2>/dev/null
#done

BTW: What version of Download Station are you using?

I've the same problem. The output is correct:

[~] # getcfg BTDownload "HTTP_FTP Move Completed Task Folder"
Download
[~] # testparm -s -l --section-name=Qdownload --parameter-name=path 2>/dev/null
/share/HDA_DATA/Qdownload
[~] # testparm -s -l --section-name=Download --parameter-name=path 2>/dev/null
/share/HDC_DATA/Download

but the completed files are only in Qdownload and are not moved to Download folder

I have a TS-212P v4.1.1. I set it up so it would download in downloads, then "move" it to multimedia. The downloaded torrent was never moved to multimedia.

If i set it up download directly in Multimedia, it will download it there.

You can't "move" files between "different" Volumes. Files actually need to be "copied" and then the original file "deleted" if these directories exist on different Volumes. If you put your "HTTP_FTP Move Completed Task Folder" back to /share/HDA_DATA/folder it will probably work.

For those of us that are using RAID solutions, our Volumes span drives, so this isn't a problem, as they are still a single Volume. You are using risky Single Drive volumes instead of RAID, so each of your drives represents a different Volume. (Yet another reason to avoid risky Single Drive volumes).

Unfortunately we can't help much with your "Not Selected" NAS model as listed on your Forum profile. If you can't figure out how to list your NAS Model in your Forum profile properly, please provide this "useful" information in every post you make to this Forum, so that we can actually help you.

Have you considered submitting a ticket with the QNAP Helpdesk for this issue?

I have the very same problem - Download station not moving files.

In the settings I have indicated to save temporary files in /Download folder, and when completed, move it to /Multimedia folder, however, it keeps them in /Download folder, without moving. And there are also stays some temp file, so when task is completed, I have 2 new files in /Download folder - myfile.avi and myfile.avi.fastresume

I'd like to do/have the following - Use subfolder /Download/BT for temp files and after completion I'd like finished torrents to be moved to /Multimedia folder. I have managed to add /Download/BT folder as "watched folder". I have just 1 volume on raid5.


[~] # getcfg BTDownload 'Torrent Folder'
/share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/.torrent
[~] # ln -sf /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/.torrent /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/Download/BT

[~] # getcfg BTDownload "HTTP_FTP Move Completed Task Folder"
Multimedia
[~] # testparm -s -l --section-name=Qdownload --parameter-name=path 2>/dev/null
[~] # testparm -s -l --section-name=Download --parameter-name=path 2>/dev/null
/share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/Download
[~] # #done


Thanks in advance.

You guys seems like you what your doing but just to be sure, you don't have the seeding ratio set to some value ?
This is a really dum soulution, but DS will not move the file until the set ratio is reached.

[Oruvin]

Indeed, when setting seeding ratio to 0%, finished download was moved to correct folder, however torrent won't seed anymore (cant start it, until change seeding ratio). It's just unbelievable how low on features and settings Qnap DL station is, compared to Synology (which I came from). I was trying rtorrent, but it's even bigger disaster (constant errors, settings not saved etc etc). Sigh.

[twil21]

I am also dissapointed in what I have bought. I picked Qnap over Synology because it had a few pluses at hardware, but it seems i have picked wrong. Synology's software is much more polished than qnap's. Sorry Qnap, but you are behind!

[pbjorkkvist]

I solved it by using Transmission instead. Then you can move the files and still seed the torrents.
But yes, QNAP has ALOT of room for improvements on there own torrent client.

[serik]

Transmission is not support any more I back to square one. Download station doesn't move completed files. I'm really angry of new QNAPs updates.
