It the issue with rtorrent and magnet links fixed?

[bobbintb]

I’ve had an issue before with Sonarr and rtorrent magnet links:

Rutorrent is suddenly removing my label on it's own

I know the rutorrent help forum is more appropriate for this but for some reason I cannot register there as my activation email never arrives, no matter what email I use. Anyway, I don’t know what changed but suddenly when Sonarr sends rutorrent a torrent magnet link it applies the appropriate label but as soon as the .torrent file is received the torrent is stopped and the label is removed. Has anyone had this happen before? I don’t have any autolabel settings set or anything.

I have since switched torrent clients because of it but according to this:

Manual snatching of release does not pass category label and starts releases in stopped mode in rtorrent/ruTorrent

is seems to be fixed by two PRs:

Fixed: Timing issue in rtorrent handling of magnet links.

Fixed: Refactored rtorrent interface to fix reliability issues with adding magnets & torrents.

I just wanted to know if this is indeed the issue it is addressing before I commit to switching back to rtorrent.

Why are you cross-posting the same question everywhere?
But yes, those commits are supposed to fix that and afaik a couple of users have reported positive, specifically here https://github.com/Sonarr/Sonarr/issues/1745. But no way to know for sure till you try it. You could just leave the other client running and configure Sonarr to send new downloads to rtorrent and disable the other one in Sonarr.
