Comment 6 for bug 318249

For Alpha 6 I left the files and Transmission in the prior state (Alpha 5) and fired up Transmission. Both torrents in Transmission were highlighted in red and said "Requested download is not authorized for use with this tracker - idle".

That also jogged my memory. For Alpha 3 -> Alpha 4 experiment I now remember having three torrents, the two new Alpha 4 torrents and one in red (the Alpha 3 with both the old torrent and the old Alpha 3 jaunty-desktop-amd64.iso file. I now remember deleting that "dead" torrent but leaving the old iso file, which after download was complete didn't pass the checksum.

So while I was warned about the torrent I wasn't informed I needed to manually rename or delete the target file. This warning or rename / delete after prompting the user needs to be taken care of when adding the torrent via a link (for example clicking a link on http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/jaunty/alpha-6/) and also when removing an "idle" torrent from the Transmission UI.

Hope this helps clarify. Thanks for your interest in improving Transmission!
