Deluge keeps downloading stuff I SPECIFICALLY told not to

[DSpider]

My bad. I thought it created random directories out of the blue but apparently after restarting Deluge the renamed files seem to show up correctly.

Yes, I was talking about renaming them from the Files tab.

For instance if you rename a "Sample" folder as ".partials/Sample/" it shows up as "Name_of_the_torrent/.partials/Sample/" in the list, but ok physically if you look inside the folder. Too bad it doesn't delete the original "Sample" folder because, as you said, libTorrent doesn't delete folders... (sounds to me more like relocation than renaming) However, I assume you can (safely) delete manually it since it's an empty folder and since Deluge (or libTorrent) no longer points to it.


So... To recap, renaming a "random_folder_name" and "random_file_name" by adding ".partials/" in front of them shows up (in the Files tab) as:

Code: Select all

Name_of_the_torrent/.partials/random_folder_name
.partials/random_file_name/

...even tho they both had ".partials/" in front. Restarting Deluge fixes it.


Restarting doesn't fix it if you rename a file (or folder) "../../something" to get the files "unburied", sort of speak, from a deep hierarchy.

Let's say we rename a folder "Subs" to ".partials/Subs/", restart Deluge (so they show up correctly) and then decide to "unbury" a file called "English.srt" from that folder. You rename it:

../../Subtitles/English.srt

Restart Deluge (so it can refresh the Files tab), and now it doesn't display it correctly anymore.



Deluge now sees it in ".partials/Subs/../../Subtitles/". But the file is in the correct dir, physically speaking.


PS: Sorry for the late reply. I've been busy these last few days.
