Perhaps I should add that I'm using ecryptfs. I have found a way to reproduce this problem without actually downloading anything.
1. I create an empty directory with nautilus. Eg: ~/torrents/ 2. Start transmission and set default download location to: ~/torrents/ 3. Create another empty folder inside the first: eg: ~/torrents/dontdownloadhere/ 4. Start any torrent file. Eg: http://ca.isohunt.com/download/441429029/gentoo.torrent 5. 'Torrent Options' dialog appears with the 'Destination folder' set as 'dontdownloadhere'. >From there on it is very difficult to select the folder above 'dontdownloadhere'. It _wants_ to select the deepest folder. I get the feeling this is a filesystem issue, but transmission is the only application that I'm effected by. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to transmission in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1130442 Title: Starting a new torrent saves files in folder of previous torrent.
