Ability to change filename before downloading

Hi everyone, I'm new to this scene. I just made the jump to ubuntu, and I'm LOVING it. The only thing I really miss (besides ICS on my xbox, but that's another story) is my favorite torrent program, uTorrent. I just found Deluge, and from what I've scene so far It's great! The only issue i'm having with it (and it could be juts my stupidity) is that I'm unable to change the output filename before downloading. I set up my computer to automatically download new tv shows once they become available and I'm incredibly anal about how my media is organized. SO, whenever I download anything I first change the filename to [season #]X[episode #] - [tv show] to keep on top of things. Is there any way to do that in deluge? ie, do I have to actually wait until the file is finished and go into the folder and manually change each file? Thanks guys

there's no way to do this right now. it's coming, though.

Oh ok, well I'll have to keep on checking. Do you know of any torrent client that does support that? As much as I'm loving deluge, unfortunately thats' sort of a requirement :-/

never mind, I just realized azureus can do that ( as much as I dislike the memory hog). Is there any mailing list i can get on to be updated when this feature is added? This is the most solid client I've yet seen!
