#1534 closed Bug (invalid)
Transmission notices when users delete downloaded files manually

Description
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.

Did you try pausing and resuming the transfer?
comment:2 Changed 12 years ago by 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.

- Summary changed from Error: No such file or directory to Transmission notices when users delete downloaded files manually
cross-reference: #1302
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.

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.

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.
