Every so often, a movie or two that i know i once had will just "disappear".. so, i'm forced to try downloading it again.. needless to say it's worrisome because files shouldn't just "disappear".
Are they disappearing from the temporary SSD or the the hard disk?
If this is the hard disk, then maybe enable snapshots for the share, and then see if the missing file shows up in one of the snapshots. I suggest custom snapshots,so you have control over retention. (Don't enable snapshots on the SSD, since they will result in extreme disk fragmentation on a torrent folder).
Have you looked for disk or btrfs issues in the log?
