Just lost 1 GB of downloaded data because I'm an idiot.
In the file browser of an active download, where you can select/unselect specific files to download and set their priority, I accidentally clicked on the download checkbox of a subdirectory instead of the "+"-sign on the left of the box. So, instead of opening the directory to see the progress of the files inside, I deleted all files in that directory.

Sure that's my fault, but a little question like "Do you really want to kill days of downloaded data?" would have been nice. Maybe that can be made optional, so the less clumsy users don't get **** off by permanent Windows-like "Do you really? Want that? Hm? Really? Are you sure?"-questions.


Another nice feature would be an option to get notified when one file of a big torrent has finished downloading. This should also be optional, maybe the user could enter a minimum file size for that notification, so that his desktop doesn't get unusable when downloading many small files.

Anyway, thanks for this wonderful program!

What version of KTorrent are you using? I'm pretty sure that this has been fixed. Certainly it seems to be fixed in the SVN snapshot and I thought that the fix was long enough ago that it would have been in at least the most recent stable release of KTorrent, if not the one before.

doesn't appear to do that in 2.1.3

You're right, I'm using KTorrent 2.0.2.
Well, after surviving the first shock, having a nap and restarting KTorrent today, all the lost downloads are back to their old percentage. So it looks like they actually haven't been deleted?

*puh*

Just to be curious: When _does_ a download get deleted? After disabling it and quitting KTorrent before reenabling the download?

Sorry for posing stupid questions while not using the latest stable release, but I don't feel like upgrading while there's a huge download in progress.

As far as I'm aware, KTorrent only deletes data if you either tell it to delete the torrent _and_ the data (by right clicking on the torrent and selecting that option) or if you right click on a file in the file view and select "Delete File(s)". Other than that, it shouldn't delete your data - even if you tell it to stop downloading a specific file.

Now, KTorrent _used to_ delete the data when you told it to stop downloading a file, but it shouldn't do that any more. Unfortunately, I don't know which version it was changed in - I always use SVN snapshots - but if your data is there now, then the change was made in or before the version you're running now.
