Incomplete folder settings isn't being honored when picking and choosing files from a torrent to download

Post by dustinwilson »

I've set up Transmission on a Debian server. I've downloaded the newest version through apt-get. Everything works fine. I get no errors in logs. However, recently I wanted to pick and choose files out of a torrent to download. When I do that it downloads everything into the complete files folder instead of the incomplete one. When I have it download all files it uses the incomplete folder.

Code: Select all

...
"download-dir": "/home/dustinw/downloads/complete",
...
"incomplete-dir": "/home/dustinw/downloads/incomplete",
"incomplete-dir-enabled": true,
...
As an experiment I opened up the web interface and then deleted the torrent (but not the files). I moved the part files to the incomplete folder and then added the torrent back without having it start. It started checking the files and recognizing them from inside the incomplete folder. I then went to the files listing and unchecked all the files I didn't need. Transmission moved the incomplete part files from the incomplete to the complete folder when I did this.

I also repeated this same experiment but left it downloading the entire torrent. It kept the files in the incomplete folder and didn't move them.
