Transmission notices when users delete downloaded files manually

[roger]

I am downloading a series of video sequences via a single torrent. However once downloaded in previous versions of Transmission I was able to immediately transfer the data per sequence to a portable drive and delete the original file. Transmission would continue downloading as per usual ignoring the fact that one of the files was no longer there.

Now I get - "Error: No such file or directory" when I do this and that means I can't download these massive sets anymore because my harddrive doesn't have enough space to handle them all at once.

I pressume this is a bug as I had no problems before this update.

what the error looks like and where..

Did you try pausing and resuming the transfer?

[roger]

Yes I restarted the download several times and rebooted the software more than a few times.

Looking through the forum - ​http://cli.gs/hs5vp6 I found my issue wasn't unique.

I have since followed what others have done now and downgraded to 1.34 and I have no problems. I am hoping 1.4.1+ will fix this problem.

If you do a verify local data it should fix it, although it will then redownload the file you just transferred.

smmalis: I'll let you field this ticket.

My solution would be to uncheck the file after it is done downloading in the preferences box, then move it.

[roger]

That is fine but then that requires a help file lookup by the user, because we won't know there is an order to negotiating the file transfer.

Just thought I would point that out.

[smmalis]

There really is no perfect solution (short of you buying a bigger hard drive), but unchecking the file prior to moving it will fix your issue.

:) Thx

PS. I have the largest hard drive laptops can have and 1TB of backup/storage. :)))
