It seems to me that this would be the expected behavior. You have to remove the torrent from transmission first, otherwise transmission is expected to seed it. If it's not there, it'll redownload. I'll file a ticket upstream nonetheless, perhaps the disappearance of the data after a successful download should be interpreted as an automatic "remove"... Thanks for doing so.. Yes, it seems to be logical to me if it redownloads it if the files are not there (anymore), but when it has finished downloading it it is a different situation, as you already mentioned. I just think that it is a waste of resources because it happened to me that I downloaded some torrents twice, just because I moved the folder and didn't have a look at what else Transmission downloads / seeds. I'd tend to agree with Denis and say that this appears to not be a bug. The controlling factor with any bittorrent client's activity is the torrent file, not the downloaded files. However there is a bug for this upstream http://trac.transmissionbt.com/ticket/476 http://forum.transmissionbt.com/viewtopic.php?p=13871 Closing, as this is an RFE rather than a Fedora-specific problem. We'll let upstream decide on how to proceed here. |
