           Summary: KGet overwrites a metalink with itself
           Product: kget
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: metalink
        AssignedTo: kget at kde.org
        ReportedBy: giecrilj at stegny.2a.pl


Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.6.0) 
OS:                Linux

During normal operation, KGet downloads metalinks from the Web to a local
directory, interprets them and deletes them.  However, if it is asked to open a
metalink from the default download directory, it still offers to download the
metalink file; as a result, it replaces the metalink file with itself, removes
it and fails to interpret it.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
  1. Use Firefox to download a metalink [1].
  2. Tell Firefox to open the downloaded metalink.
  3. Agree to the default action.

Actual Results:  
  2. KGet offers to download the metalink to itself.
  3. KGet removes the metalink.

Expected Results:  
  2. Since the metalink is already on the local file system, KGet should
download the referenced resource openSUSE-11.4-NET-i586.iso instead of trying
to download the metalink file itself.

OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.37.1-1.2-desktop
Compiler: gcc

Workaround: 
  * tell KGet to download the metalink somewhere else 
  * or use a different directory for Firefox downloads and KGet downloads.
