Transmission isn't downloading or uploading and every time brings up files which I deleted and don't need anymore

[Boris Strajnar]

Binary package hint: transmission

Ubuntu 9.10 64bit installed on ntfs win7 partition with wubi. Actualy upgrade from wubi installed 9.04
Transmission 1.75 bulid 9117.
I add a torrent file and would expect to get some activity finding peers etc...but no...only zero's
Connection is ok.
Firewall i do not use.
Browsing, mail, amule, ftp transfer...are working perfectly.
.....
And if i choose Delete files and Remove
next time i start Transmission they are there...i think all of them.

That is it.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

On startup, Transmission scans ~/.config/transmission/torrents (if you're using the gtk version) or ~/.config/transmission-daemon/torrents (if you're using the daemon) and loads all the torrents in that directory.

1. Are you using the gtk, or daemon, version of Transmission?

2. When you remove a torrent in in Transmission, and then look in ~/.config/transmission/torrents, is the corresponding .torrent file still there?

3. Do you have permissions to delete the corresponding .torrent file?

4. Do you own the corresponding .torrent file?

We'd like to figure out what's causing this bug for you, but we haven't heard back from you in a while. Could you please provide the requested information? Thanks!

I've got the same problem (Ubuntu 9.10, fresh installation, not upgraded).
Gtk transmission 1.75.
Permissions to ~/.config/transmission/torrents seems ok: after removing torrent, the corresponding file in path is deleted too.
Simply, an added torrent stay there forever (until removed), without any activity.
Regards

Hi Stephen,

I'm not sure I'm parsing your comment correctly. I think Boris is saying that even after he removes a torrent from Transmission, it brings itself back the next time Transmission is started. Your comment sounds more like Transmission leaves a torrent running until the user removes it, at which point it stays removed. Am I reading you correctly?

1.I am using Transmission 2.5 (11488) Gtk Version.
2.The torrent files do not get deleted from the link you have posted above after i have removed the torrent from the application.
3. Yes the torrent files from the destination mentioned above can be deleted.
4. I do not own the torrent file.
