Really the option name is incorrect. qBittorrent doesn't copy anything since it doesn't track source .torrent file after torrent is added, it just generates .torrent file from torrent metadata. |

Ok, thanks for the reply. But should it be removing the tracker list though? What is the point of that? |

When "Copy .torrent files for finished downloads" is enabled, the torrent files that appear after the download in the location specified are different from the original ones. More specifically, all the trackers in the torrent file are removed. This renders the new torrent file practically useless (ignoring DHT). Sometimes, even the hash data (not sure what it's called but I'm referring to the rest of the torrent file that reads gibberish) is altered; although I am not sure when exactly this happens.
Here's the diff of the two torrent files for example. Original on the left and copied file on the right. Rest of the file is identical in this case.
I suspect this has been happening since the upgrade to libtorrent 2.0 but I'm not fully certain. Is this the supposed behavior?
