There is still one open question. Does completed mean that all goals like seeding ratio have been achieved or is it just completed downloading?! Afaik, completed means that downloading is done. But it doesn't mean that seeding would be completed or ratio would have been met.

So even if file is in completed downloads, you shouldn't remove it. Is this a problem for you? I mean if you usually move files out from completed downloads immediately when it's done.

Just stirring this discussion. ;)
we're just waiting. there's an existing bug ticket about it for libtorrent. once it supports extensions for incomplete files, so will we.

it means when the torrent has finished downloading its relevant parts.
moving it doesn't remove it, so it can still keep seeding and whatnot.

Thank you for pointing it out! That's just what I were hoping for and expecting. But it wasn't mentioned anywhere clearly. So it's moved before status is "completed".

I would find this useful because I have another computer monitoring my torrent download directory for new movies, but it has no way to tell which ones are completed. If an extension was added to the incomplete ones my monitoring wouldn't pick them up till they had a proper movie extension. Right now there is no way for me to do this with Deluge.
create a completed folder and use the move torrent plugin to move the completed files to it.
The problem with this method is when I am downloading a whole season torrent for example, I like individual files to show up as they complete, not the whole season at once. Can't wait for libtorrent to support this.

I second this request.
The move plugin is certainly not an alternative as it will not keep structure that can be made by setting the dest. directory.
So unless there's a move directory that can keep a form of structure, the suffix is the only way I see as viable.
And I heard libtorrent can do it now.
