Deluge 0.5.8 + MoveTorrent

[michelino80]

Hi,
most of the times I finished a download and start seeding, MoveTorrents doesn't move the finished files in the directory I specified, and I have to manually move them.
What is happening?

I'm running Deluge 0.5.8 on Ubuntu 7.10

thank you very much,
michele

are you moving them to a separate partition? currently you can only move within the same partition

same partition, different folder, writable by anyone. It's interesting how sometime it works, sometime it doesn't, and I have to close and open deluge again to make it work again (even if I'm not sure about this solution)

run deluge from the command prompt and see if it spits out an error when it does that

as soon as this is taken care of, we'll have support for it... http://code.rasterbar.com/libtorrent/ticket/231

another thing that would be really nice, would be an option(I currently hardcoded it) to keep the structure the torrent was originally in:
torrent is saved by default in /path1/folder1/folder2/torrent_name
movetorrent moves into /path2/: you can choose to keep 1 level of structure, and then it saves in /path2/folder2/ or 2, in which case it saves in /path2/folder1/folder2/.

That's very handy when used with the rssloader, which allows to auto-classifie the torrents in subcategories.

I tried using this feature and every time a download finished I would get a pop up dialog saying that the the torrent could not be moved to another partition.

This was even though both folders were in my Home folder on the same local partition.

For some reason my 0.5.8.2 with Ubuntu doesn't save move torrent plugin preferences.

After every restart I need to reset the path, then it works like a charm.

Any thoughts about that getting fixed(?). Does others have similar problem?

- Thanks!

OK, I think I've been a bit dumb here.

The plugin is called "Move Torrent" and the description says "This plugin allows users to move the torrent to a different directory". However, when you open the preferences for the Move Torrent plugin, it says "Move completed downloads to:"

I thought 'torrents' referred to the torrent files, not the downloads.

I was expecting it to move my torrent files to my "Completed" folder (as I like to keep a list of torrents that I have already downloaded, so that I have a record if I ever delete the downloaded file or rename it etc.). I wasn't expecting the plugin to act on the downloaded file (because that's not how it is worded). My downloads are on a different partition, which explains why I got the error message.

The wording in this plugin could certainly be better. It's quite confusing at the moment.

I'd like to see an option added to move the torrent files themselves (in addition to the existing option to move completed "downloads").
