   I did a test, created a one file swarm, downloaded it to another node, then deleted the file in the file system.

   The sending node doesnt indicate a problem, even if I open the swarm I get what seems to be a correct filesize, the only way I found to see that it is broken, is if another node tries to download it, then the size is indicated as zero.

   Even after this, the sending node still happily reports original filesize, and this after a restart

   If you go into Classic ui, you get an indication that the swarm is broken, but nothin in the web ui. Whats worse, if you run on a mac, you cant see the classic ui, so then there is no indication whatsoever that you have bad swarms

   Perhaps a tool to walk the swarms is needed

   yeah, a tool is definitely needed. Especially when you can't enter the classic UI, like me. x)

   O5KAR: If you run OS X it can be enabled by going into settings in the web interface, and activating "Show menu bar icon (restart required)"

   after the restart you can reach classic UI from the menu bar icon

   This problem gets even worse with automatic sharing as I simply treat my auto-shared directories the way I would treat a shared directory in a classical P2P application like LimeWire, ie. stuff gets added and removed.
   Manual sharing is for me a non-option as the folders at times have a lot of files added and removed, making the automatic sharing the only sensible way to handle things.

   Ideally on startup/periodically OneSwarm would scan all the seeds, checking whether they're still there, just as it checks for new stuff.

   Also, when you remove a directory from the automatic sharing list, the torrents stay, which I'm not quite sure if I should see as a bug or a feature.
