#2329: Deluge creates parent directories for output
-------------------------------------+--------------------------------------

Keywords: create,parent,directory |

'''Problem'''
Deluge creates the necessary parent directories of it. However, it does
not own the parent directory of the torrent output and thus should not
manage it. Creating it is being overly helpful and the problems with auto-
creating it include:
a) The parent directory may ''intentionally'' be missing
b) Deluge may create the directory with the wrong permissions
'''Steps to reproduce'''
1) Download torrent
2) Exit Deluge
3) Move said torrent and delete torrent's parent directory
4) Open Deluge
5) Deluge will create the parent directory and re-download the the
torrent
'''Example'''
I had all torrents saved in a path like /storage/data/torrents/. (Eg:
/storage/data/torrents/TORRENT_NAME.) /storage/data was a mountpoint for
another filesystem. I quit Deluge, unmounted /storage/data, and rebooted.
Deluge was set to auto-start on boot and it created /storage/data/torrents
and then started to re-download everything. This both filled up the
filesystem for /storage and caused undesired leeching.
'''Desired behavior'''
If the parent directory for a torrent is missing Deluge should not create
it and instead fail to proceed.
