v3.9.1-beta.8 — Download Directory & Seeding UX Fixes

pre-releaseone hour ago

What's Changed

This beta refines default download directory resolution across macOS, Windows, and Linux, improves the BitTorrent seeding preference UI, and updates the first-install default port layout.

🛠 Improvements

  • Download directory resolution — Use OS Downloads directly on macOS and Windows, handle Linux XDG configurations that point Downloads to home, and avoid persisting weak fallback paths.
  • BitTorrent seeding preferences — Replace the old expanded/collapsed seeding controls with clearer radio-style options and animated transitions.
  • Default ports — Move first-install defaults into the 29100 port group for cleaner grouping across RPC, Extension API, BT, DHT, and ED2K services.

🐛 Bug Fixes

  • Fixed default download directory detection falling back to the user home directory when frontend filesystem scope blocked path checks.
  • Fixed already-polluted home-directory defaults by allowing startup to repair them to a better resolved Downloads path.
