Hello! I hope whoever is reading this post is doing well. The problem is that I have downloaded an "ova" file from vulnhub through torrent. However, now the file has disappeared from the location it was downloaded to. Strangely, the torrent client is still seeding it and not giving a missing file error as it does if the file is deleted. I have tried searching hidden files as well but it is not there anymore. I have doubts that it can be malware. What should I do?
 


What Torrent client are you using? Can you not right-click on the seeding torrent and open file location?
 
I am using qtorrent. The torrent client is even opening the containing folder. But the file isn't visible there. I have tried the command line. It is not showing even with the -al flag. It is still seeding.
 
AFAIK torrent clients usually move a file to a completed folder when done downloading and then continue to seed from there, maybe you are looking in the wrong location?

Maybe try using the find command to find the file.

Can you provide a link where you are downloading the ova file?
