Can we really choose the download folder, please?

Post by compu73rg33k »

I know there's an option to choose the download folder, but if the torrent only has one folder, it should at least allow an option to bypass the directory specified in the torrent and use the user-chosen directory. I know a little bit of python and am looking to learn a bit more, so I would be all for helping to fix this bug. Could someone point me in the right direction to go about doing this. Does this annoy anyone else?

libtorrent which deluge is built on, doesn't currently support renaming files (this includes choosing the directory).
when libtorrent supports it, deluge will support it.

I, too, am eager for its support.

you could always try offering to help with implementing the feature in libtorrent, although it's written in C++, not Python.

other people have already requested it: http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/ticket/333

We use rasterbar's libtorrent: http://www.libtorrent.org

Oh wow, didn't know that functionality rested in libtorrent. What a bummer, hopefully they will get on that and add the support, it's a pretty big deal IMO.
