Public bug reported:

Steps to reproduce:
- Make sure that your partially downloaded files directory is on your regular hard drive
- Select a file to "download to..."
- Choose a directory on a USB memory stick or hard drive as the download location
- Wait until the file starts downloading
- Unmount your USB memory stick/hard drive

The files will continue downloading, but be stored in the unfinished download directory, the directory structure is not preserved
Actions like "open file" in the finished downloads list won't work

 While not a critical issue, I had trouble finding my files after this
happened once. It'd be good if a popup could appear that informs you
that your files will be stored in the unfinished downloads directory, or
perhaps create a directory in the user's home directory that contains
the files in the proper file hierarchy

Either way, in good linux spirit, it's good if the user is told what's
happening to their file system.


using linuxdc++ 1.0.3. on Kubuntu 9.10

Thanks for all your hard work! linuxdc++ is working very well!
