		//	2. The torrent hasn't received valid metadata and was started without

		// 
		// Note that by the time you receive the fast resume data, it may already
		// be invalid if the torrent is still downloading! The recommended
		// practice is to first pause the session, then generate the fast resume
		// data, and then close it down. Make sure to not remove_torrent() before
		// you receive the save_resume_data_alert though. There's no need to
		// pause when saving intermittent resume data.
		// 
		//.. warning::
		//   If you pause every torrent individually instead of pausing the
		//   session, every torrent will have its paused state saved in the
		//   resume data!
		// 
		//.. warning::
		//   The resume data contains the modification timestamps for all files.
		//   If one file has been modified when the torrent is added again, the
		//   will be rechecked. When shutting down, make sure to flush the disk
		//   cache before saving the resume data. This will make sure that the
		//   file timestamps are up to date and won't be modified after saving
		//   the resume data. The recommended way to do this is to pause the
		//   torrent, which will flush the cache and disconnect all peers.
		// 
		//.. note::
		//   It is typically a good idea to save resume data whenever a torrent
		//   is completed or paused. In those cases you don't need to pause the
		//   torrent or the session, since the torrent will do no more writing to
		//   its files. If you save resume data for torrents when they are
		//   paused, you can accelerate the shutdown process by not saving resume
		//   data again for paused torrents. Completed torrents should have their
		//   resume data saved when they complete and on exit, since their
		//   statistics might be updated.
		// 
		//	In full allocation mode the resume data is never invalidated by
		//	subsequent writes to the files, since pieces won't move around. This
		//	means that you don't need to pause before writing resume data in full
		//	or sparse mode. If you don't, however, any data written to disk after
		//	you saved resume data and before the session closed is lost.
		// 
		// It also means that if the resume data is out dated, libtorrent will
		// not re-check the files, but assume that it is fairly recent. The
		// assumption is that it's better to loose a little bit than to re-check
		// the entire file.
		// 
		// It is still a good idea to save resume data periodically during
		// download as well as when closing down.
		// 
		// Example code to pause and save resume data for all torrents and wait
		// for the alerts:
		// 
		// .. code:: c++
		// 
		//	extern int outstanding_resume_data; // global counter of outstanding resume data
