Download Folder

All torrents seem to get dumped in the download root directory. Isn't there a way to place these in their own discrete folders? This is taken for granted in other clients where downloaded material cab be distinguished from each other.

I don't see anything like that in uTorrent.
It can use the labels. But that's it.

It just seems a bit cumbersome to have to manually sort downloads etc. I just thought I was missing something..

Disclaimer: I haven't tried this, but I see no reason why it won't work. There may be errors and I take no responsibility for anything you break doing this.
Let's assume the download folder is "~/Downloads" and you have labels "LinuxISOs" and "LEGALSTUFF".
Also let's assume you want to save the files in "/mnt/LinuxISOs and "/mnt/LEGALSTUFF"
First, enable this:
Tools > Options > Downloads > Hard Disk > Save files to location > Check "Append the label of the torrent to the save path"
Next, open a terminal and input these commands:
Code: Select all
$ ln -s /mnt/LinuxISOs ~/Downloads/LinuxISOs
$ ln -s /mnt/LEGALSTUFF ~/Downloads/LEGALSTUFF
Now when you label a torrent as "LinuxISOs", the symlink should cause the files to be saved in "/mnt/LinuxISOs".

Sorry for the off-topic reply!
