Move instead of Copy after download?

Post by sublimnl »

I am setting up qbittorrent and have the following settings:

Torrent management mode: Automatic
Use subcategories - enabled
Default save path - /downloads
Keep incomplete torrents in - /incomplete

I've noticed that when a torrent finishes it is actually doing a COPY instead of a MOVE from /incomplete to /downloads. As a result, this takes a fair amount of time on larger downloads, and ALSO requires 2x the disk space. Not to mention it is playing havoc on an automated process I have to pickup files from /downloads for transfer to another system.

Is there a way to reconfigure this to MOVE the files instead? Thanks!

I've not seen this. Are the two directories on the same file system without anything to complicate the situation?
