Binary package hint: transmission
Do this:

2. Download a torrent with an archive in it. (Zip,rar,7zip etc).
3. Choose Open folder on that torrent when its finished
4. Unpack the archive (right click, select Unpack here)

To post a comment you must log in.
If this isn't fixed upstream (they seem to consider it a non-issue) I think Ubuntu should seriosly consider changing official torrent program.
No other program that I use for torrents deletes files other than the ones in the actuall torrent when asked to delete associated data.
