I have started numerous torrents by downloading the torrent via the search tab, and don't know where or if the torrent files are saved anywhere. When I start ktorrent it resumes these downloads. That's great! I wonder if the same will happen after an update of ktorrent from 1.2 to 2.0beta1. The question is not simply if ktorrent 2.0 has the same functionality, which I guess it has, but if it preserves the 1.2-downloads. Does anyone know about this?

There were big changes in file formats between 1.1 and 1.2, but only minor ones between 1.2 and 2.0 so they should stay working.

But beware if you are running on a 64 bit CPU, because of a bug one file will break (the current_chunks file of each torrent), allthough KT should handle it, you might lose some data but not much.

Thank you!

All but the completed appeared. That means I am not seeding those anymore :/. Have to fix that.

EDIT: The completed appeared too, but in the recently discovered uploads tab :)

Thank you for a great application!
