Bug 337662 – net-p2p/transmission-1.92 doesn't delete torrent files

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Tiago Marques 2010-09-16 16:13:58 UTC]

I have a download completed and want to move files to another directory. I press the "remove from list" option on the file, "trash and remove data", and none of those deletes the torrent file. Upon restarting the daemon the file will download again, as it still finds a torrent for which the file was moved and hence becomes a new transfer.
It obviously should delete the torrent file.

Reproducible: Always

Hm, until we've started to investigate this issue, are you able to reproduce the problem with transmission-2.04-r1?

[Comment 2 Tiago Marques 2010-09-19 19:46:54 UTC]

I didn't tested since it was masked. I will try it and let you know ASAP.

[Comment 3 Peter Volkov (RETIRED) 2010-10-14 17:11:07 UTC]

Tiago 2.04-r1 is stable on x86 and amd64. Do you experience same problem with it?

[Comment 4 Tiago Marques 2010-10-14 22:23:21 UTC]

Just noticed that it is a configuration setting in settings.json
I had set the "trash-original-torrent-files" as false by mistake. "false" is the default setting, which is kind of wrong if you're using the watch dir feature, like I was.

I have found that most of the time I can't get the init script to stop the service(I have lots of downloads).

I am also using a custom init script since the one provided doesn't let me run as a non-root user without OpenRC.

The init script not stopping should be fixed, I use this, with all configs in settings.json, since the conf.d file doesn't allow near as much customization:

start() {
        ebegin "Starting transmission daemon"
        su files -c "transmission-daemon";
        eend $?
}

stop() {
        ebegin "Stopping transmission daemon"
        killall transmission-daemon
        while [ "`ps ax | grep transmission-daemon | grep -v grep | wc -l`" -ne "0" ]; do
                sleep 0.5;
        done
        eend $?
}


As for this bug, it can be fixed. Want me to open one up for the init script stop?

Best regards

I'll bump to transmission-2.10 today. If init script will still fail there, please, open new bug. Closing this one as INVALID since this is configuration problem. Thank you for you feedback, Tiago :)

You're welcome.
No need to bump, I'll try out 2.10 in ~x86 and you should probably leave it there until it is confirmed stable by more people.

Best regards

Yea, but I've just added it to the tree. This is kind of slang - version bump == add new version of the package to the tree :)

ok :)
