Naming of torrents from .torrent file
Posted: Thu Jan 20, 2011 7:49 pm
Hi,
I'm a heavy Bittorrent user (currently seeding 500 torrents, 3 TB total) currently using the rTorrent client.
One problem I have with rTorrent is that it does not allow me to change the name of a torrent (it always takes the name from the torrent file). With huge numbers of torrents it becomes annoying because the name inside the .torrent file is often terrible. In my situation, the name of the .torrent file very often conveys much more information. Unfortunately, rTorrent does not support naming torrents from the name of the .torrent file.
For this very reason I'm considering leaving rTorrent and have considered some others (which all failed to meet my criteria). I'm interested in Deluge but I don't know if Deluge is more flexible than rTorrent when it comes to naming strategies.
In short: does Deluge allows naming a torrent from the name of the .torrent file itself, not from its contents? I'm referring here to the name displayed in the torrent list but also to the name of the file/directory created on disk. Also note that I want it to name the torrent automatically (having to do it by hand is not acceptable).
