Tribler does not store magnet links until after metadata has been downloaded?

[teddyrogers]

Tribler 8.0.7, I have noticed after adding a magnet link Tribler can sometimes add it to the list in a "Stopped" status with "Name" column titled as "Unknown" - until the metadata has been downloaded.

Additionally and, I believe to be a bug, if you quit Tribler and then restart the torrent is no longer listed. I make the assumption Tribler does not store magnet links until after metadata has been downloaded?

Correct. Until the BitTorrent swarm is joined, a bare magnet link is basically a completely unknown set of 20 bytes that we know nothing about.

Tribler should immediately save even unknown torrents, unless you shut down so fast that Tribler doesn't have a chance to write to your disk (I assume that's not the case). That is a bug.
