Previous downloads cached?

[btmdave]

Is there a cache for previous downloads? I downloaded a torrent, killed node, removed the directory from disk, but when i re-download the same one, it's goes to done right away and the full file(s) are there.

In some cases it goes straight to done, but the files are zero bytes (for different previous downloads i killed partially through).

If you don't specify a path option with webtorrent --path <path>, then a temporary path at /tmp/webtorrent is used. If you re-run WebTorrent than that previously downloaded data can be reused.

@btmdave

Can you elaborate on your second comment? Are you saying that if a torrent was previously downloaded successfully that later downloads with --out <path> won't actually download anything to the given path?

Closing this issue – it's so old that the parameter is now named --out.
