Public bug reported: Binary package hint: transmission
If Transmission is set to default to some location (Such as an external drive) that no longer exists, it will not check to see if that location is presesnt. It will simply fail to receive any data, even though it shows traffic. The downloaded bytes will pile up, but the file will not be verified an no progress will be shown. It would be nice if the default location was confirmed to exist on starting a download. If you check the preferences pain, it will throw an error about the nonexistent location, but if you just open a .torrent, the file tries in vain to download to the nonexistent drive.
