Path Missing when pausing task after adding from magnet

[luchev]

App: Version 0.20.0 (0.99.3) (64-bit)
OS: Linux Mint 18.3 Sylvia

I added a torrent from a magnet link and instantly (maybe a fraction of a second) paused it because I wanted to let my other tasks finish first. Later when trying to restart the task it failed with the message:
"Path missing.
Fix and restart the app, or delete the torrent.
Missing path: /home/user/Downloads/filename.ext"

Deleting and re-adding the task without pausing this time downloaded it successfully.
Can we have path rechecking when restarting a task and if it is missing - recreating it?

In the file:

• webtorrent-desktop\src\renderer\lib\torrent-summary.js

... there's the lines:

1. const dirname = ts.files[0].path.split(path.sep)[0]
2. return path.join(ts.path, dirname)

... where [path.sep = '\'] which on Windows 10 are causing me the issue... and I don't know what the point of post-pending the drive onto the root path is/was? (perhaps at one point, the individual ts.files[0].path locations were local and needed the root path? but even then, it's not doing that either.?.?)

So, as a temp patch, I replaced lines 1&2 above with the following:

const dirname = ts.files[0].path
return dirname

... until I got some feedback for the original purpose of the code as it's written ... otherwise, I'll submit a PR.

In the interim, perhaps this comment with my temp patch will help someone else.
