How to set the name of the root directory for a torrent?

Post by S.H.Bouwhuis »

I'm a uTorrent user and am trying to make the switch to Qbittorrent.

When I download a torrent I always rename it be more meaningful.

Example:
Torrent : Insurgent (2015) 720p HQ AC3 DD5.1 (Externe Eng Ned Subs)TBS
Rename to : Insurgent

I then expect the download directory to be <qbittorrent download dir>/Insurgent/<files>.
Now, I can't choose a name and it ends up in <qbittorrent download dir>/Insurgent (2015) 720p HQ AC3 DD5.1 (Externe Eng Ned Subs)TBS/<files>.

Is there an advanced option where I can set this?

Aha, ok.

Can this be done when you add the torrent like in uTorrent? It makes most sense to set the name (and thereby the root folder) when you are adding a torrent (I mean in that popup window where you can select which files to download and such).
