A question for someone coming from rtorrent

Post by BugTrackerJacker »

Hey all,

I used to use rtorrent for this, but I have had some issues with the recent build on my HTPC. 

So one of the features I used a lot is that rtorrent can watch a set of folders and move the completed files to a location based on the watched folder.

Can qbittorrent do this?  If so, how?

Thanks.

qbt has a "watch folder" functionality, but it either downloads to the default download location or to the watch folder itself.
More options will come when this will get merged: https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/pull/1141

Maybe this is the project I should contribute to to bone up on my C/C++.  I really want to have the option to change download location based on watch folder.
