This will help decide what we'll do about ticket 106 (http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/ticket/106)

I vote yes, I hadn't used that feature before though.

I voted yes as well, I always use remove (and select to delete the torrent file) instead of clear because of this.

I also think deleting the torrent is better, but if someone wants the current behavior, you could just add an option to enable or disable the torrent deletion

Well the ticket is closed but I put my two bits on there anyway. Here is what I wrote, in case the closed ticket never sees a developers eyes again...

I have another solution, and one that I have been meaning to write up as a feature request anyway...

In Azureus I used a three-tier folder system /torrents-pending /torrents-seeding and /torrents-removed. The Move Torrent plugin gives me the first two; I was going to write up a suggestion for either enhancements to Move Torrent or a Remove Torrent plug-in to migratate the downloaded files to a -removed directory when I'm done with them in Deluge.

I know, I know... this is not what we're taling about. But it is related. I ALSO had a three-folder setup for the .torrent files. I used /torrent-files /torrent-files-incoming (the auto-pick up directory), and /torrents-removed for the ones I was done with.

The standard options in Deluge give me the first two features. Ideally, I would like to see an option added to the standard 'Remove' that offered to put the .torrent files in a /torrents-removed directory as opposed to just deleting them. This can be either a modification to the standard Deluge, modifications to the Move Torrent plugin, or (probably most appropriately) a new Remove Torrents plugin (though I would like it to have similar functionality to the Move Torrents plugin, so a separate plugin is debatable).

Thanks so much!
