[edge case] No error, just stall, if trying to download Magnet URI on read-only filesystem #1034

The Problem

I attempted to download a magnet URI as usual, as I’ve done tens of thousands of times. Except it never autostarted, staying in [closed] state. CTRL+S wouldn’t start it. Nothing I tried started it.

After digging around for several minutes, I found out that my storage file system had inexplicably become read-only.

read-only magnet URI

The Solution

Please provide some sort of error / notice for Magnet URIs when the file system is read-only.
