Bug Description
Binary package hint: transmission
I was downloading the debian dvd image (4.2 GB) using transmission 1.75 in ubuntu 9.10 (32 bit). The default download location for Transmission is ~/Downloads but I was downloading the data at a different location which is a separate partition of ext4 type. After downloading nearly 50% of the data, I got an error message: "Error:Read only file system". Somehow the filesystem become read only. So I closed Transmission and restarted the laptop and then started Transmission again. But this time Transmission started downloading the data from scratch at the default location i.e. ~/Downloads folder.
I tried to set the location of the torrent data (with 'Local data is already here' option) to previous location where it already downloaded 50% data but when it verified the data, it was only 2.64%. I lost rest of the data.
If any other information is required from my side, please let me know.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better
It sounds like the lost data was caused by the filesystem becoming read-only. I don't know what caused that to happen, but it's beyond the scope of Transmission. That might be a question for the ext4 people?
Are you able to reproduce this issue on a stable, writable partition?
