UFicle: torrent problem by purplepineapple 2008-08-26 01:59:04
Something really weird is going on. For over a year, I've been using whatever easy torrent thingy Ubuntu has. When I click a torrent link, it pops up a box asking for a save location, wherein I browse to a folder and click "save". Then a window opens showing the download progress. Easy!

Except all of a sudden...when I click "save", nothing happens. Nothing. I can click "cancel" or the X and the window closes, but when I click "save" I can see the button depress but nothing else happens.

Argh!

I don't need a fancy torrent client, I like it being simple, so I want to fix this! Any suggestions?

It started yesterday, I've rebooted since then, happens from inside both opera and firefox, and there are gigs and gigs of space on the destination drive. I also tried saving to my desktop within ubuntu, with same problem (so it shouldn't be a read/write permissions error with the save location).
