Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: transmission
It is extremely difficult to know what files are completely downloaded
and which are only partials.
Transmission itself does know which files are not yet complete, but by
listing a directory it is impossible to know what files are usable
without opening Transmission and doing a visual, line-by-line
comparison. And, if for any reason the file has been taken off the
download queue before it was completed, there is no way to know that the
file is missing a bit.
Transmission should put partial downloads in a temporary directory or
mark them as temporary (by simply adding suffix .tmp or .transmission,
for instance) until download is completed. Without this, its usability
is severely hindered in all but the simplest uses.
** Affects: transmission (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
