Torrents disappearing before completion

I have something very strange happening. I have a seedbox and I did a manual search/download from Radarr, which initiates the download in qBittorrent as expected. The file begins downloading, and at some point before completion it just disappears completely. The qbit logs just say “torrent removed” without further explanation. I do have qbit set to remove torrents after they hit a defined ratio, but that definitely isn’t happening here. Anyone seen this behavior before?

It tracks ratio related to your current download, so, if you’ve downloaded 1MB of 5GB and uploaded 2MB, that’s a 2.0 ratio. Try changing it to pause instead of remove at that ratio and see what happens.

I was watching pretty closely the second or third time I tried, and I had zero upload and about 70% of 6.6GB downloaded when it disappeared.

Yeah idk. I’ll mess with it more tomorrow.

So the logs don’t have the torrent finished line right? e.g. It never logs "Torrent download finished. Torrent: “YOUR-TORRENT-NAME” ?

If so my guess is what the other commenter mentioned, try changing the settings not to remove the torrent & see how it goes.
