![]() torrent file if the torrent is removed from the client, which is nice. Although Vuze does have the options to automatically delete. torrent files instead of the torrent client. and so remove the "history".īasically I'm in control of my. torrent file from magnet link, and after I'm done downloading and seeding it, I go to my torrent directory and delete the. Just because other software has problems doesn't mean Transmission has to also. I'm not discussing OTHER software, but Transmission only right now, so why are you bringing up privacy issues concerning other software. torrent file on another computer to continue seeding. I also move downloaded content sometime around and need to reopen the. torrent files this way but I sometime continue seeding if I'm not downloading anything and have some spare bandwidth. So it's like a document that can be opened again and again. ![]() torrent file I can open it any time in any torrent client and continue seeding or re-download the original data if I somehow lost it. I really don't care what XDG standard says.Īnd you're listing totally irrelevant specs to what we're discussing here. How do you design it so that root (or the equivalent on any other OS) can do whatever it wants to while still keeping the privacy "intact" of the other users? Though I am very curios to know how you envision this to be solved. If you don't trust those with (full) root access then just don't use that computer. This "problem" is not specific to Transmission but rather the account system in any OS (not unique to Linux), but it isn't a real problem. This is like saying that it's a "privacy nightmare" because other people can go into your room to look around when sharing a house/apartment with others, or even that your landlord has access to your apartment. *sigh* Then effectively every fracking program has a "privacy nightmare problem" because most of what you do in them is not automatically deleted and root has access to it. It's a privacy nightmare because on a multiuser computer these directories stay forever and anybody with root has access to them and can see who was downloading what. More importantly the user should be given the opportunity to chose where to save these torrent files (like Vuze does) or configure a chosen directory through the Options facility. So torrent files should go somewhere other than hidden directories, something like downloads\torrents or documents\torrents etc. ![]() So they don't belong to hidden directories that are meant for configuration files.Īnd my understanding is that resume files get deleted automatically after torrent is done downloading whereas torrent files generated from magnet links stay forever? Correct me someone if I'm wrong in this assumption. Torrent files are data files, not configuration files. I don't know whether XDG standard applies to data. However, just out of curiosity I want to know what options you see being needed to fix this perceived "privacy nightmare"? If anything then the resume folder is slightly worse since it seems that it's not as thoroughly cleaned, but I can't see how this is a privacy nightmare since they need the proper permissions to access it in the first place. It follows the XDG standard and it only contains files for the torrents that are loaded into Transmission, so no different from just opening the client.
