qbittorrent deletes already downloaded stuff

[Fiodor Kupchik]

qBittorrent mistakenly removes already downloaded files that were not selected when adding torrent with updated/added content

how to reproduce:
1. Download at least 1 file with torrent.
2. Update torrent file so that it contain the same file ad new one.
3. Try to download new file BUT DON'T SELECT old one.
4. Old file will be deleted but new one going to be downloaded successfully.

Thanks for filing this report.

Thanks, this should be fixed in qbittorrent_2.7.2+svn.r5435-0ubuntu1. You will be able to get it from my PPA within the next hour provided that you use Ubuntu Maverick or Natty.

Basically, qBittorrent now detects which files already exist at the destination when you add a new torrent. Files that were there before will not be moved to the .unwanted folder and will not be removed on torrent deletion, even though you ask qBittorrent not to download them. I believe this is now the expected behavior and it is a lot safer.
