Downloading torrent immediately changes to errored status

I am on qbittorrent webui setup with the *arr stack and I queued up something to download but despite plenty of seeds active the status switches to errored and doesn't download. Tracker list says few working some updating/not working. Any idea what could be wrong?

If your on linux, check the download location permissions. Usually thats 99% of the problem.

If this is a seedbox do in SSH "sudo chmod 777 -R /yourdownloaddirectoryhere"

I have given my mounted drive all permissions yet it is still giving me the errored status https://imgur.com/a/7eFbu7w

i had the same issue recently and my disk was full! check your free space and make room if not

I had the same problem half way through downloading a bunch of files. I use Unraid and my torrents download to a 500gb cache drive before later being moved to the larger drives. Bottom line I ran out of space on the download folder.

For what it's worth to anyone else experiencing this... I reciently updated qbit and in doing so, I changed the UID and GID values with the new stack - this caused the Errored status for all new or existing torrents attemtping to download. Changing them back to the original values corrected the issue. Good luck.
