Description Bastien Nocera 2014-02-14 18:20:35 UTC 
To implement the "Make Available Offline" menu item in Totem, after the stream's download buffer is full (so the whole file is now cached to disk), I create a hard link to it in a separate directory, so the file is kept across runs.

I can verify that both the buffer cache, and my linked copy are of reasonable sizes, and type.

When exiting, or closing the file (eg. setting playbin to a READY state), queue2 seems to truncate the file before removing it. My linked copy is still there, but now it's zero-sized...

    queue2: don't truncate the temp file on shutdown
    
    We want to keep the downloaded file untruncated so that we can use it
    again later.
