Deluge and Folder Name Collisions?

Post by cvig »

How do you handled folder name collisions? For example, some overseas television series I am torrenting both have the folder name in the .torrent as "Season 1". In my opinion it is the fault of the torrent creator but if I add two torrents with the same folder name to deluge it starts saving both torrents to the same folder. I don't know if at the end it checks and then deletes the non-torrent files.

Is there a way around this? I tried editing the torrent (and increased the field size count) but apparently that doesn't work as the tracker no longer recognizes the torrent.

I figured out I can trick deluge by changing the download location to a new directory, adding the torrent and starting it and then switching the download directory back to my normal one. It'll be interesting if it works properly if I restart deluged but I'll try that later :).

it won't delete anything, it'll just save both torrents in the same folder.
