A question for someone coming from rtorrent

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.

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.
