I never get it right at the first try. You can try selecting the parent or maybe the grandparent folder instead of the torrent folder itself. And the folder name on disk must match the folder name in. Sorry, something went wrong. Then maybe qBittorrent should warn about choosing the "wrong" folder - something like "This folder does not correspond to the top level torrent directory.
In case the top-level name is correct a recheck should always be triggered. I have a gb SSD drive for pending downloads, and a 4tb mechanical drive for completed downloads. If I have a large torrent, I want it to download straight to the completed folder. Not the D: drive where I told qbit that the files are now located.
This directly conflicts with what you have stated -- If you are right, what am I doing wrong? Yes, this is the problem with "Set location". Set location doesn't tell libtorrent where the files are, it only tells libtorrent where to move the files to. The workaround seems to be to always delete the libtorrent torrent, but not delete your files. This would really improve qbit.
All clients I have ever used have this option except qbit. It's super annoying to have to delete the torrent, re-add it again and then recheck whenever I have manually changed the location of the data. And the fact that qbit will simply decide to redownload and overwrite your completed files instead of warning you "hey, looks like the files are already at the new location" and rechecking them, is very frustrating.
I've had to re-download files quite a few times because of this, and I even completely lost some data for torrents where I was the sole seeder.
One may say "just use the qbit move function" instead of moving the files directly and pointing to the location after the fact, but that is not the answer. I'm no expert by any means, but I saw some comments about how this is not a qbit problem but a libtorrent problem.
When I change the download path on rutorrent, there is a "Move files" checkbox which I can tick or untick, depending on whether the files are already at the new location or whether I want rutorrent to move them.
Isn't this function exactly what we need? You are right, I just tried it again and the file contents were moved automatically. Updating the article now. Nice, just did it with Transmisson Qt.

Latest uTorrent comes with a Game Store. Comments JoJo said on November 17, at pm. Everyone, sooner or later, may face that task. And in this case I think uTorrent may and should help. But it requires some small improvement in its code. And here is what should be done:. Do not put paths to torrent file locations in each and every torrent record in "resume.
Instead keep only torrent names as keys there and use path to torrent files location taken from its configuration - "Properties Directories Location of torrents" "settings.
It will offer control the users need to move torrent files from one location to another and facilitate an easy implementation of that task in uTorrent. It will make "resume. Faster rendering is important in case if there is a lot of torrents kept in "resume. It's especially noticeable when user happens to uses quite a long path to the folder, where he keeps all torrents.
The same approach should be done for paths for downloaded files too - path should be kept in one location "settings. It will offer the same benefits to both uTorrent users and uTorrent itself ability to easily move downloaded files form one location to another and smaller "resume.
So right now we are actually stuck with folder paths that we chosed in the first place? Thats suck. Interestingly enough - UI gas place to change both paths to downloaded files and torrents themselves.
And IMHO, support for change both paths require a simple change of the code with right coding no any compatibility problems are expected. But the code is not an open source and, therefore, we're at mercy of its developers I'd be nice, if they listened and tried to help us. Good grief, you lot all give up so easily, just because it can't be done with one click doesn't mean it cannot be done at all.
And if you have screwed up somewhere you have the "get out of jail free" with the original resume. You forget to leave the link drop. For those interested, it is at longpathtool. Start new topic.
