Setting permissions

I have a problem with the permissions on downloaded files. It only happens with qBittorrent and not any other program. I am on Ubuntu 12.04LTS and qBittorrent 3.1.5. The folders created have 775 permissions and the files 664. Is there a way to automatically change them both to 777 for newly downloaded files and folders?

To set permissions for a folder and all of its subfolders, use the following command "sudo chmod -R 777 address of folder".
So for example the folder is labelled qBittorent, and is mounted in home> 1TBA> qBittorent, the command would be "sudo chmod -R 777 /home/1TBA/qBittorent", then newly downloaded files and folders, should have the same permissions.

Having the execute bit set is dangerous. Also as far as I know, qbt doesn't handle permissions explicitly. This is most probably handle by libtorrent itself.
