Often, the display will tell me that the torrent is a file when it is really a folder...

Hi wizodd,

Thanks for taking the time to report this issue and make Ubuntu better.

I've never seen that behavior before. Could you mail me the address of a public tracker torrent that shows this behavior?

Is there a way to pull the torrent (.torrent) file from Transmission
directly? I'm not sure where the .torrent file is stored....

The International Labor Organization (ILO) estimates that 12.3 million
people worldwide are enslaved in forced labor, bonded labor, forced child
labor, sexual servitude, and involuntary servitude at any given time.

One significant change in the past 500 years has been the need to unlearn
what you "know" to be true.

«La connaissance, c'est le pouvoir, et la lecture est le commencement de la

l'illettrisme et les privent d'éducation devrait nous interpeler très
sérieusement.»

In $HOME/.config/transmission/torrents/

This one shows as a film real icon, but downloads to a folder....

(I managed to somehow change the opening application for folders from the
file manager to find files & haven't got it back yet...been a long time
since I was using any *nix systems....)
