            Bug ID: 319485
           Summary: Kget should keep a copy of a temporary .torrent file
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: kget
           Version: 2.10.2
          Platform: Chakra
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: torrent
          Assignee: kget at kde.org
          Reporter: delian2 at gmail.com

If you usually open a torrent file from the browser without actually download
it ( the .torrent is saved to /tmp ) the next reboot kget will, obviously, not
find anymore it.
That could be a problem if the download is not ended or it's still seeding: you
will get a "Torrent file doesn't exist" error and the only way to recover is to
download the .torrent again and place it in the right folder (/tmp in this
case).
If kget cannot keep the needed information of the torrent in its data
structures, which could be one solution, another solution, IMHO, could be to
save a copy of the .torrent kget is going to download somewhere ( maybe in the
kget dot-dir ), before starting the download, and then refer only to that file.
