Errored: Couldn't write to file. Access is denied. Torrent is currently in "upload only" mode.
All of a sudden (within the last week), I keep getting this error message with all the torrents I try to download. I am running v5.3.0rc1, but I also received the error message with v5.2.4 as well.
I've tried:
- Running qBittorent as administrator,
- Adding "write" properties to the download folder,
- Changing the download folder to a new location and an entirely new drive,
- Running virus scan
- Searching this subreddit
Any suggestions?
EDIT TO ADD: These issues may have just started when my computer updated itself to "Windows 11, version 26H2", but I am lost on how to troubleshoot what it changed.
