  1. I would like to report an issue regarding torrents saving to external drives. Applies to at least 0.9.3.6 and 0.9.3.5 on OS X 10.6.3 Intel.

    Steps to reproduce:

    1. Set default save location to a folder on an external drive (in my case, /Volumes/Binary/µT)

    2. Open a torrent file, let it download to at least 0.1%

    3. Quit µTorrent and then unplug hard drive, (maybe restart computer and/or plug in a different external drive), then reconnect hard drive, and launch µTorrent

    Expected: Torrent continues downloading

    Actual: Permissions error

    Attempted fix:

    4. Set permissions to 777, recursively, in the torrent folder

    Expected: Permission error goes away

    Actual: µTorrent is still unable to save

    Attempted fix number two:

    5. Remove torrent from µTorrent (list) and re-open the file.

    Expected: µTorrent re-checks download and continues

    Actual: This works — sometimes. It seems the default save location must be recently set (e.g. before ejecting and mounting the drive again), or it may not work (same error as before).

    Note that I poked around in my settings.dat and it seems the full path "/Volumes/Binary/µT" is not being saved, but rather, just "µT".

    ----------------

    Oh, and thanks / well done fixing the file list sorting bug. Cheers.
