Description Unknown 2016-05-03 05:01:28 UTC
KTorrent changes the default folder locations seen in the configuration to an incorrect path, e. g. /home/rodrigo/ to file:/home/rodrigo and therefore are ignored when I open .torrent files or magnet links.

If I enter a new location, KTorrent changes it to an incorrect path adding the file: to the new one.

Changing the values of completeDir=, saveDir=, tempDir= and torrentCopyDir= in ~/.config/ktorrentrc solves this, but if you apply any changes in "Configure KTorrent", the paths are gonna be broken again.

Reproducible: Always
