Do not move files that are currently "unreferenced" by any downloaded piece
libtorrent should never touch those files that are not accounted in the current progress. I.e. if the file does not intersect with any currently downloaded/checked data, then it should not be affected either when renaming the file or when moving the storage. This would help in resolving various file name conflicts (especially when working with magnet links, when we do not know about the contents of the torrent before receiving metadata).
as far as I can tell, your patch fixes this issue.
Unfortunately, no. My patch is about something else.
oh, I see. If a torrent needs checking, no files on disk is technically associated with it. In that scenario, it's not obvious what to do. Or if storage is moved while checking it.
Right now, any file that would have been downloaded by the torrent is associated with it, and is moved.

That's exactly the problem. And we can't work around it without any not very reliable and convenient tricks in some cases, even with the help of the patch mentioned above, especially if it's not about moving storage, but renaming files.
