Where does it place the file?

Asked by Ken Pratt

Binary package hint: transmission

Fresh install of Lucid. Went to Ubuntu to download the Beta 2 AMD64 desktop image. Transmission downloaded it successfully and is now seeding. However, the file is nowhere to be found! The default is $HOME/Downloads. My Downloads folder is completely empty. A search of my directory using 'find $HOME -name "ubuntu-10.04*iso"' yields nothing. So I am seeding a phantom file...

Hi! Right-click the torrent on the Transmission window and select Open Folder. See where it's saved.

Default is to save it to $HOME. If you follow what zszoet says it will appear, you could also use:

sudo find / -iname "*.iso"

which will find the file no matter where it's hiding.

If you double-click the torrent in the main window, the Details dialog will pop up showing the "Information" tab. In that tab, the torrent's location on the disk is shown as "Location:"

Can you help with this problem?
