Bug ID: 490894
Summary: KTorrent persistently writing 2 bytes to a "magnets"
file while torrents are active
Classification: Applications
Product: ktorrent
Version: 24.05.2
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: joris.guis...@gmail.com
Reporter: c...@horwell.me
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When a torrent is active, i.e. downloading or seeding, a file named "magnets"
in ~/.local/share/ktorrent is persistently being written to in a loop. This
causes the HDD activity indicator to be constantly flickering on/off.
The content of that file is just 2 bytes: "le". Happens even under a fresh
configuration. No magnets are active.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start a torrent, such as KDE Neon ISO.
STEPS TO DIAGNOSE
1. Install "inotifywait" package for the distro
2. Run "inotifywait -m -r /home/$USER/.local/share/ktorrent/"
WORKAROUND
Create a symbolic link for "magnets" to "/dev/null".
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
OS: Arch Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.3
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.4.0
Qt Version: 6.7.2
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
- Still happens even if all plugins are disabled.
- Deleting the file immediately recreates it.
