Frequently asked questions and troubleshooting
The magnet link does not show a name yet
Section titled “The magnet link does not show a name yet”The engine needs to retrieve torrent metadata. Check the connection and content availability in the swarm. A valid magnet link may have no reachable peers; that alone does not demonstrate an app fault.
Android shows “Download engine disabled”
Section titled “Android shows “Download engine disabled””Use Start engine and grant local network permission when prompted. The reviewed Android code requests this permission on system versions that require it. The interface may disable adding torrents until the engine is ready.
The download does not start
Section titled “The download does not start”Check connectivity, engine state, available storage and content availability. Avoid removing the torrent as your first step if you want to preserve its state.
What happens when I remove a torrent?
Section titled “What happens when I remove a torrent?”On Android you can choose whether to delete downloaded files as well. Read the confirmation and select only what you want to remove. On other platforms, review the dialogue options.
Where are the files?
Section titled “Where are the files?”The reviewed Android code uses app-specific download storage; use the open or share actions available in the interface. A public file-manager folder is not guaranteed. On iOS/iPadOS, the documentation describes access through Files when the build exposes that location. On macOS, check the selected download destination.
Does it stay active when I close the screen?
Section titled “Does it stay active when I close the screen?”Android uses a transfer service and notification. The system may apply battery or network restrictions. On iOS/iPadOS, keep the app open while downloading.
Does ATorrent hide my IP?
Section titled “Does ATorrent hide my IP?”No. BitTorrent exchanges information with peers and may use trackers and discovery mechanisms. Your IP may be visible to other participants.
