Hi,

can a download be resumed after the application has been closed?

The issue is that the original torrent file is not available.
The client.py example from the libtorrent repository seem to rely on that fact.

I tried to store and load the metadata and fastresume data - but it did not seem to work.
After the restart I get "RuntimeError: missing or invalid 'info' section in torrent file".

As for the metadata, h.get_torrent_info().metadata() is written to disk. It is loaded this way:

e = lt.bdecode(open(mfile, 'rb').read())
info = lt.torrent_info(e)
atp["ti"] = info

That is probably where the problem is.

The test case is attached. Maybe someone can give me a pointer into the right direction.

regards,
mwarning
