Delete symbolic link created by Autotools when deleting torrent

[simur612]

Hi,

When deleting a torrent, the symbolic link created via Autotools is not deleted as well. How can we do so?

Thank you,

For example, you can use hardlinks instead.

 

[simur612]

And the hardlink will be deleted?

I just read this between the differences of sym & hard link:
- Removing the original file that your hard link points to does not remove the hardlink itself; the hardlink still provides the content of the underlying file.

If you need only one instance of torrent's data then you must use 'move'

 

[simur612]

And here another problem...

When I use move, and I restart rtorrent (for x reason). it tries to find the torrent in the original folder and fails.

1) This is an error.
2) I'm not a telepatist. Use right place for error's reporting - issues on the project's page. And don't forget to fill the issues template.

Back to my original message I was wonderring why the symlink is not deleted when torrent is. There is no logic to keep it.
I don't know why you suggested me hard link as it is the "same" thing.

And I'm surpised that no one already reported it.

I just found this: http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/ticket/2418
The error message when restarting rtorrent is "Download finished, but check hash failed".

Of course.

Hardlink is'nt the "same" thing.

I think, the reason is a simple. All other users know, what they want. What is a symlink, what is a hardlink and etc.

I'm too lazy for this, sorry. Try to read point 2 in my previous comment yet once.

That's why I put quotes.

Too bad, because it shows that Autotools is buggy, not updated.

Sorry, but are you understand english? For example, are you understand words "Changed 11 months ago" in the ticket on your link?

We say "Do you understand". And so you're not that lazy after all!

Even if the tickets has ben created a year ago, the problem is still there... Or at least a variant.
