Help! Upload stuck 99.9% on QBittorent
-
Using Qbittorrent to upload & followed the guides but it is stalled at 99.9% & I really don't know how to resolve it? I tried the suggestions of deleting & re-uploading, set file location (specifically selected the folder containing the files to be uploaded!) but it didn't work. Anu help would be greatly appreciated.

this is happening to a new torrent that you created?

@ianfontinell-0 Yes, I don't normally upload but thought I'd try! The 1st part was fine using the manual upload from this site then getting it unto QBT is where my problem gets stuck at 99.9%. I'm a visual learning so seeing how to do something is way better for me than just reading about it then applying it, so I'm sure I'd messed up somewhere but don't know where exactly?! Hope you can help!

@guya-0 I can't really say because I didn't see you doing it obviously, but my best guess is that you created the torrent file and then moved all the torrent content to a different location and now it's stuck at 99.9% because of a hidden file from the original location. All speculation of course.
If that's the case, moving the files back to their original location is the easiest approach. If you didn't move anything at all, it could be a problem with your hard drive. In that case, you will need to straight out start again, create a new torrent file and re-upload manually.

@ianfontinell-0 Here's what I did - I created a folder with the files I wanted to upload & saved it to a HDD (same HDD I use for downloading!). Then created the torrent file & saved in the same HDD.
Then tried uploading to QBT & set the location of the files as per above HDD, is that the right process?
Tried the 1st time & stuck at 99.9% then deleted torrent from QBT, went to my profile on GT to download the torrent again but the content of my files in the folder from above got deleted (guessed cos I'd deleted the torrent!?). Anyway, copied files back into the folder & tried for the 3rd time & still stuck at 99.9%! So I'm at a lost!
Does the process of what I'd described above sounds correct or I missed something trying to upload??
Thanks for you help BTW.

@guya-0 the process is 100% on point, if all files are present and the hash check is failing, it all points to a read error during the torrent creation, like the file was read "wrong" during creation so no matter how many times you try to load this torrent file into your client it will always fail! That torrent file is bricked.
So the only thing I can advise you to do is to try again, create a new torrent, make sure to keep the "optimize alignment" checkbox disabled:
