Public bug reported: Binary package hint: transmission
Description of the problem: Transmission does not check that a torrent is "small enough" when it is fully downloaded or if it "Verify Local Data" is used. This means that junk on the end of a file is not fixed. Steps to reproduce: 1. Run transmission http://download2.bittornado.com/download/BitTornado-0.3.18-w32install.exe.torrent (or whatever the "download via BitTorrent" link on http://www.bittornado.com/download.html is) 2. Follow the steps to let BitTornado-0.3.18-w32install.exe download (e.g. to ~/Downloads). 3. Run md5sum ~/Downloads/BitTornado-0.3.18-w32install.exe 4. Run truncate --size=+1k ~/Downloads/BitTornado-0.3.18-w32install.exe 5. Press the right mouse button over BitTornado-0.3.18-w32install.exe torrent in the Transmission GUI and select "Verify Local Data". 6. Wait for the verification to finish and then run md5sum ~/Downloads/BitTornado-0.3.18-w32install.exe Expected results: The md5sum values returned at step 3 and step 6 to be the same (assuming the file downloaded correctly in the first place :). Actual results: The md5sum values returned at step 3 and step 6 are different. Additional information: This situation is rare but it really can occur due to bugs elsewhere in the system (see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=669511 ). It would be good if "Verify Local Data" was able to fix up such files.
