Linux is very flexible with mounts and this is why Deluge has some issues
with download paths. Let's take a look at a real case:
1. Start and finish a torrent on a mounted path, then close Deluge
2. Unmount that path (manually or by reboot)
3. Start Deluge again
The result is a new download from scratch. It will obviously have an
impact on torrent ratio - wherever that counts.
Possible solution:
Check for the initial download path and if it doesn't exist pause the
torrent and:
1. inform the user either by a message or mark the torrent with a
different colour (light red?);
2. ask the user for a new download path and also present a Retry button so
the user can mount that path and try again (and add a "Solve later"
button);
3. create an option to switch between options #1 and #2 above because
automatic start-ups will block Deluge from downloading if #2 is waiting
for user input
