feature suggestion
Posted: Thu Nov 07, 2013 8:05 pm
I love qBittorrent. It's better than K-Torrent which came by default on my Kubuntu, and way better than uTorrent that I used to use on my Windows machines.
I have an idea for an improvement. I did not find a feedback suggestion form, so I'll post it here. If I should be posting this or e-mailing it elsewhere, please let me know.
Qbittorrent seems to be geared for people who save all there torrents into their Downloads folder because that's what a menu suggests when you first start a torrent (or go to re-seed one you've already downloaded). That's fine since a lot of people work this way. However, not everyone does. I download videos to an external hard drive. This works best for me since I might switch to a different non-Linux machine to burn the videos to DVD. I keep each torrent file in a separate folder along with whatever video or subtitle files come with it. I often go back to re-seed. If at all possible I always download a torrent file first rather than using a magnet.
Whenever I start a torrent to download or re-seed, it would be nice if when that menu pops up offering to put it into my Downloads folder if there were a checkbox that said, “Put into same folder as torrent file.” That would save me the trouble of surfing to another drive and through a bunch of folders. Maybe I could even set that as my default.
I do it this way so that I can easily keep track of which torrent file goes with which video in the event that I choose to re-seed after being away.
