[feature request] change path of files

[Malamut]

I have tried a lot of torrent clients for linux. And most of them, as Deluge, have one huge disadvantage: they can't change name of downloaded files. It's very important for me because I don't want my hard disk to became a dustbin with a lot of files named like this: My_Movie_2006_Peter_Peterson-Riped-by-NIK[tracker.tracker].avi So, I must rename all such files and go away from seeders and it's not good at all. For me, possibility of changing a name of a file (folder) is a major function of good torrent client.
But thank you for this client, I use it for my own torrents and if you add possibility of changing a name of a downloaded file it became the best client for linux.
P.S. Sorry for my english))

I think it's a limitation of libtorrent. Deluge being built on libtorrent also cannot change torrent file names.

I also support this feature, for the meantime while it doesn't get implemented (I hope it will) if you want to seed the torrents that you've changed the name you can create a symbolic link with the old name something like:

Code: Select all

ln -s new_name old_name

just point the torrent to the link, it's absolutely the same for deluge and I use symbolic links all the time, although I've been conforming to the scene naming

libtorrent actually now supports this so it should be getting into deluge soon.

Any updates on this? This is one feature that I eagerly await, and once it's in Deluge I can finally ditch uTorrent 1.8 and move all my torrents to Deluge.

yes according to http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/ticket/428, it should (hopefully) be in 1.1.0
