Description Pascal d'Hermilly 2008-06-21 01:30:45 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.0.80)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

I recently used kget to download an opensuse cd-image through bittorrent. 
To make a long story short. It finished and I deleted the .torrent file while kget was still runnning. Don't know if it was seeding or anything. However, when I selected the transfer in kget and clicked "Delete Selected" it wiped every file in my homefolder except files with a dot in front like .bashrc and folders. Also it closed kget.
Being chocked that I was I tried looking for the files... I'm not able to find them again. They weren't moved to the trashcan.
So I checked if I could recreate it. I created a text file in my homefolder and opened dolphin and kget. Kget still found the image that I had downloaded. I pressed "Delete selected" and it wiped the files again.
Then I recreated the original .torrent file from the trashcan, opened kget and clicked "delete selected". Kget did as it should and deleted the .torrent file. 
I haven't been able to reconstruct the happening afterwards. But then again, I haven't let kget finish the download.. as it is 680 Mb.

Thank god it didn't wipe the subfolders as well. I hope very much that you are able to get rid of this bug, but remember to backup before trying to recreate ;-)

Yes, we had some problems with this in pre-Beta 1 (?), but I fixed that temporary...
This is only happening with torrent-downloads btw

PS: I will leave that bug here open, to push the _real_ fix...
