Description Peter Lewis 2008-07-21 13:39:43 UTC
Version:           2.0.98 (using KDE 4.0.98)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

If I click a torrent file in konqueror, it starts KGet, and begins to download the data, storing the .torrent file in /var/tmp/kdecache-user/krun/.

Later, if I restart while the downloading is not finished, the .torrent file has disappeared from /var/tmp/... and kget just sits there with the download in the "stopped" state. Since the torrent file is no longer present, kget doesn't know where to get the rest of the data from.

Thanks.

Can u attach your kgetrc- and your kget_bittorrentfactory.rc-file here?

Thanks.

Here's my kgetrc file. I don't seem to be able to find a
kget_bittorrentfactory.rc file anywhere... where would it be?

Mmh ok...
kget_bittorrent.rc is in the same dir than kgetrc, but if you haven't changed the settings, it's indeed not there :)
Well, at the moment, I see no reason why it should be downloaded to /var/tmp as it should download the .torrent file to your $KDEHOME/share/apps/kget/tmp...

Screenshot of kget when I click on a .torrent file in konqueror

Okay, just to confirm, if I click on a link to a .torrent file in Konqueror,
kget starts and shows me this window.

Once the download has started, I get:

$ ls /var/tmp/kdecache-pete/krun/
10257.0.ubuntu-8.04.1-desktop-i386.iso.torrent

Thanks again!

Mmh that's strange, you have your configs in .kde4 or sth like that or? It seems to be a failure of KStandardDirs :/

Comment 7 Peter Lewis 2008-07-21 23:18:43 UTC
Yeah, it's the way the packages are set up at the moment with Kubuntu.

Take a look here for more info:

http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.1rc1

Could it be a bug for the distro people instead?
