Shiggity Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 Well, I've just gotten and started playing with this beta, and I'm really pleased with it. The one problem I have with it so far is that when you remove a torrent from the list, it also removes the data file, no matter what. I think an option should be added to [dis]allow that from happening, and allow the user to turn that option on or off.Other than that, it's awesome that there's finally a beta of this otherwise awesome BT client. It's my choice client when I'm on Windows machines.Platform: Apple MacBook 2.2 GHzOS: 10.5.5 Leopard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt63 Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 I agree with the general request, but did not have that issue. When I removed the file from the list, it did not delete the data file (which is good!)However, when I want to remove a torrent file, I almost always want to delete it, otherwise I end up with a stupid amount of old torrent files in my downloads folder as I always forget to delete them manually. With transmission I could do this, but don't think i can with utorrent.So for me that'd be a good addition to a great application.Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjk Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 If data are always deleted, that would be a bug, but I wasn't able to reproduce it myself.'Remove' button only removes from the list.If you right click on the torrent, you have 4 different options (remove, remove torrent, remove data, remove all) and they should do what they say.Are you sure you had data downloaded in the first place? The files are only created after at least one piece has been downloaded from peers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad8989 Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 I had the same problem; I'm assuming the thread-starter pressed 'delete' or 'cmd+delete' to remove it, and that indeed deletes the data file, or at least every time I try it. It's not a big issue, but after switching to mac it's a habit that I'm guessing a lot of Windows users picked up. It would be cool if 'delete' removed it from the list and 'cmd+delete' removed the data file or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xeyr Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 I had this same issue - cmd+delete on the torrent list removed the torrent from the list and removed the data. It also hard deleted the data, instead of placing it in the trash, which is what I think would be safer and more appropriate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 Cmd+Backspace seems to be the standard keyboard shortcut for removing files to the Trash in OS X, right? I don't use a Mac, but if it's causing behavior not unlike Shift+Delete in Windows, then methinks the behavior needs a bit of changing around.Cmd+Backspace should behave like Delete in Windows (removes the torrent job, not the contents)Cmd+Shift+Backspace (or Cmd+Alt+Backspace) should behave like Shift+Delete in Windows (remove the torrent job and the contents)Should be less confusing that way. Whether it removes to Trash by default is something else worth looking at (in Windows, it doesn't remove to the Recycle Bin by default, but that doesn't have to be so under OS X).

alexasu Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 If you download a torrent wich saves a number of files i a folder (like a rar-archive for instance) the folder itself doesn't get deleted when using cmd-alt-delete, and it's quite annoying.

thelittlefire Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 If you only delete the data with Cmd-Del does the folder disappear on your system?Both do so here :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dredzik Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 I suggest that you remove key bindings in uTorrent that mess with the downloaded data. Or at least give the user an alert about what he's going to do. It's not wise of you to make any shortcut sillently remove anything from the FileSystem. Better yet - don't remove them directly. Move them to trash. Repeat:- dont bind harmful features to easilly mistaken keyboard shortcuts- dont silently remove anything from hard drive- dont remove files directly - instead move them to trashThree simple fixes to this broken feature.
