Yes, I've had a similar experience in the past with 3.3.6-1.  From what
I understand, this is due to a bug[1] in libtorrent-rasterbar 1.1.x,
which typically manifests itself in two situations:

 - The directory of a torrent is renamed by adding a suffix; or
 - the directory name of a torrent acts as a prefix to the directory
   name of another torrent (see [2] for an example).

Note that in either case, the downloaded files are still there;
libtorrent is simply not looking at the right location.

If I'm not mistaken, this has been fixed in the RC_1_1 branch, and
should therefore be part of 1.1.2 when it comes out.

In the meantime, a crude but simple fix is to manually rename the
directory to whatever libtorrent is expecting.  (You can pinpoint this
by starting the download a little bit.)  After a forced recheck, if all
goes well, the torrent should be back to 100%.
